Welcome to LitFest 2025!
We’re thrilled to bring you the latest instalment of our flagship event. Thank you to all our contributors, and to Seaford Town Council and Seaford Rotary – without whom this wouldn’t be happening.
Our Venue: The Crypt Gallery
Found nestled on Church Street in Seaford, you’ll find the Crypt Gallery. From the outside you woudl never know that within lies and incredible Flint Gallery, with a cobbled floor, and access to the special space that is the medieval undercroft.
Home to LitFest for many years, the Crypt has an undeniable atmosphere, and is a very special place.
Access to the undercroft is via a set of stone steps, and is therefore not accessible to all. We make every effort to provide seating in the Flint Gallery, if you would like.
Please contact us at admin@seahavenpoets.co.uk if you would like to know more, or have any concerns; thank you.
