Ashton Green is about 3 miles east of Lewes, in East Sussex. Ashton Green and the surrounding area are covered for Christmas parties. Ashton Green is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 10 miles away.
If a church like The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Ringmer Primary and Nursery School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Ashton Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
