Sussex Cheese Bowling - a new tradition 
11-year-old Dillon Honeywood from Seaford won our first ever Sussex Cheese Bowling Championship, sponsored by The Southern Co-operative and High Weald Dairy, at Preston Park on Sept 17th.
Forty people braved the rain and joined the fray at the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival People's Picnic, aiming to get as close as they could to the 'big cheese'. Dillon beat 30 adults, placing his hand-sized cheese just 10cm from the large Sussex Cheddar, whilst the Ditchling Morris entertained the crowds. As a new sport, Sussex Cheese Bowling was very popular and we will most definitely be holding a tournament again next year as part of the Brighton Food Festival. www.brightonfoodfestival.com
