Image source, Discover BexhillA popular 1920s themed event in Bexhill will not be returning this year.

Quote Message"We are in discussion with the organiser of Roaring 20s and will continue to assist established events, where possible, with support including the free use of car parks, public land and waste services. Despite the financial challenges the council continues to face, we are committed to supporting and promoting tourism."
