We are so pleased to once again be a host venue for the fabulous HURSTfolk. festival, which returns to Hurstpierpoint in November.

The scene was set in The Great Hall in 2023 when the festival first came to Danny, and saw sold-out shows ranging from spoken word to barber shop; jazz to contemporary piano.

This year, the Danny HURSTfolk. programme is just as vast and varied; there is genuinely something for everyone; see below for what’s in store, and be sure to grab your tickets fast – these events will sell out!
