Jempson’s 90th Anniversary Festival

This year, we are celebrating 90 years of community service with a full-blown, flavour-packed Jempson’s Festival from June 9 to 21. Think of it as part gourmet showcase, part community fair, and part prize bonanza.

To celebrate this historic occasion The festival will feature a smorgasbord of tastings and samplings from major brands—like Thatchers, Nestlé, Monster, and Cawston Press—as well as some cherished local producers. Little ones can hop on a classic carousel, while adults try their luck in a festival raffle stacked with premium prizes: overnight stays at The George in Rye and The Mermaid Inn, a brewery or vineyard tour, and even an e-bike tour exploring the scenic Rye countryside.
