Moving On Parade 2024

Moving On in Lewes – children’s rite of passage celebrates local food

PATINA (Parents & Teachers In the Arts) is a charity created at the turn of the millennium to give young people in the Lewes District the opportunity to experience and enjoy art, work directly with professional artists and gain a sense of belonging and community through the arts. Their recent “Moving On Parade” focussed on “Welcome To Our Table”, celebrating local food and all the fun of growing, cooking and eating together.

Alongside our work monitoring vital environmental and biodiversity gains, we want to understand how nature recovery across the corridor is benefiting you. How is it making a difference in your lives, and in your communities? We want to hear your experiences.
