FAQs for Ditchling Common
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater in villages like Ditchling Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will go through the licensing with you.
