Running an event in Westdene
Westdene is about 2 miles north-east of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. Wherever your event is in the BN1 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We cover all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
With the A27 close by, Westdene is straightforward for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Events in parks such as Withdean and Westdene Woods need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for from us.
