Sussex Cricket Unveils Silly Point Beer Festival

Sussex Cricket Launches 'The Silly Point Session' Beer Festival for Day-Night Clash

Sussex Cricket is excited to announce The Silly Point Session – a brand-new local beer festival taking place at The Silly Point Pub during the much-anticipated Day/Night Metro Bank One Day Cup clash between the Sussex Sharks and Lancashire on Friday 15 August 2025.

This event celebrates the return of Day/Night cricket to Hove for the first time in several years and follows the hugely successful launch of The Silly Point Pub during this year’s Vitality Blast campaign, where it quickly became a fan favourite.

Now, Sharks fans can enjoy an even bigger experience as The Silly Point Session brings together great sport, great beer, and a vibrant matchday atmosphere.

Hosted in partnership with Laine Brewery Co., the festival will showcase a diverse lineup of up to 12 beers, including specially selected brews from Laine, along with favourites from Heineken and Harvey’s Brewery. A variety of non-alcoholic options will also be available.

Entry to The Silly Point Pub and the festival area is included with your match ticket. For those keen to sample the full range, wristbands can be purchased, giving access to six half-pints of your choice from the featured selection.

“This is more than just a match – it’s a celebration of summer, community, and great beer,” said Sam Graham, Director of Growth at Sussex Cricket.

He added: “Building on the success of The Silly Point Pub during the T20s, we’re thrilled to now offer fans something even bigger and better for our Day/Night Metro Bank One Day Cup fixture.”

Wristbands for the event will be available to purchase in-person on the day of the match at The 1st Central County Ground.
