The Village Green

Right in the beating heart of Southwick, the Village Green is where the past steps out of the history books and into the sunshine. Framed by the timeless charm of St James' Church, with the irresistible pull of Forest of Bere Ice Cream just a few paces away, this is where music drifts, engines rumble, and the spirit of 1944 lingers in the air.

Across the weekend, the Green becomes a living stage. Expect the stirring sounds of the Horndean Band, toe-tapping nostalgia from Joe Murell’s George Formby tribute, and the unmistakable charm of Muriele, our French singer bringing a touch of continental flair.

Add to that the spectacle of vintage motorcades rolling through the High Street, marching displays, and moments of reflection at the church, and you’ve got a programme that moves effortlessly between celebration and remembrance.

Whether you’re pausing with an ice cream, finding a shady spot on the grass, or following the rhythm of a marching band through the village, the Village Green is the place to soak it all in.

Field Gun Displays & Cadet Competitions

Feel the ground shake as cadet teams take on the legendary Field Gun Runs — a fast-paced, high-energy display of teamwork, discipline, and determination.

With marching bands and live commentary adding to the atmosphere, this is one of the most exciting spectacles of the weekend.
