Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sussex Tree Festival 2026
The Tree Festival – a celebration of trees in Sussex – is back!
The festival, taking place across Sussex in May and June, includes guided walks, storytelling and creative workshops.
Highlights include a family-friendly talk and walk with renowned Sussex naturalist Michael Blencowe, a Forest School taster session in Steyning and a Tribute to the Trees event in Preston Park, Brighton.
There will also be exhibitions at Worthing Museum and Hastings Museum and Art Gallery – plus the return of our I Love This Tree Because…photo competition.
CPRE Sussex director Paul Steedman said: “We are thrilled to once again offer everyone living in Sussex the opportunity to celebrate the wonderful trees we have on our doorstep. Trees are more than just beautiful – they provide shelter for wildlife, they help to slow climate change, and they boost our health and wellbeing. I hope everyone will join us for this year’s exciting programme of events.”
The Tree Festival 2026 is organised by CPRE Sussex, volunteers and local groups. It is sponsored by Rampion Offshore Wind and Bartlett Tree Experts.
The main events programme starts on 23 May and runs until 7 June. The exhibition at Worthing Museum is open now.
