As part of their Help Sussex Buy Local Campaign during the Covid 19 pandemic, Natural Partnerships CIC, who organise Sussex Food & Drink Awards, created Sussexfoodandrink.org with a map to help people find all the great Sussex food and drink and the places that serve and sell local produce. They are encouraging people in the county to ‘Have a very Sussex Christmas’ by decking their festive table with locally produced food and drink and buying lovely, local foodie gifts - and are promoting some wonderful Christmas offers from across Sussex at https://sussexfoodanddrink.org/promotions
