Common Cause Talks
Sat 12 September · Harvey's Depot secret bar and theatre, Lewes
Common Cause Talks
Doors 1pm, talks from 2pm, finishing around 5.30pm with a Harvey's Depot tour
Harvey's Brewery has a hidden theatre and private bar tucked inside their Depot in Lewes, and we're taking it over for our first ever Common Cause Talk.
Grab a pint of Harvey's from the bar and a pizza from Pat's Pizza truck, and join local producers, growers, chefs and food thinkers for an honest conversation about how our local food system works, where the opportunities are, and what Lewes and Sussex could build together.
Pat's Pizza will be serving from the truck outside from 1pm, and Harvey's bar will be open throughout. Pizza and beer return in the break.
