Falmer events: pitches and permissions
Falmer is about 3 miles north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Across the BN1 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove.
If your event is in Stanmer Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Organisers near the South Downs National Park, within about 4 miles of Falmer, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 5 miles of Falmer, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
This part of Brighton and Hove takes in BN1, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Middle Street, Park Street and Mill Street. Close by, we cover events in Kingston near Lewes (2 miles east), Iford (3 miles east), Ovingdean (3 miles south), Rottingdean (3 miles south) and Roedean (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Brighton (3 miles south-west), Brighton and Hove (5 miles west), Hove (5 miles south-west), Carlton Hill (4 miles south-west), Hanover (3 miles south-west) and West Hill (4 miles south-west).
A little further out are Brighton And Hove Albion Football Club Museum (within half a mile south-west) and Lewes Castle (3.8 miles east). The countryside around Falmer includes Bevendean Down and Newmarket Hill.
- Local pubs include The Swan Inn (under half a mile west)
- Other local spots include University of Sussex Library (0.5 miles west)
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Give traders a single information pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Orders are served throughout the event.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Christmas markets in Falmer trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
