Hey! is free and there’s no need to book. There is free parking at and around the Hillcrest, if you’re coming by car. Regular buses and trains to Newhaven. There is a licensed cafe (with good coffee) at the Hillcrest, serving snacks and refreshments. The aim is for things to start promptly at 2 pm and move steadily through what we hope will be a stimulating and memorable afternoon.
