A three-day spring music festival is under way.

Michaela’s Market Place in Newhaven has organised the event at Denton Island, featuring live music and a bar.

Seahaven Music Festival kicked off yesterday and runs until tomorrow with performers including Canadian singer Duane Forrest and local musicians and DJs.

Michaela Puddick, Michaela’s Market Place owner and festival organiser, said: “We are trying to bring all local communities together and breathe some life back into Newhaven and give it and the surrounding towns some free enjoyment.”

Along with music there are children’s activities and a range of food vendors serving hotdogs, burgers, Jamaican food and crepes.

Lucie Dolinek, co-organiser, said: “Our Christmas Festival at the beginning of December last year was a great success and Michaela does not show any signs of stopping any time soon.”
