Sussex Six
Sussex Six is a campaign encouraging local shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés to stock more locally-sourced produce and shout about it! The campaign is also about enabling local producers to develop their skills in selling to local businesses.
Businesses who join Sussex Six and pledge to take on just six new locally-sourced products, will benefit from:
- Free publicity as part of a major campaign including features in local media, websites and social media
- Building relationships with new, local suppliers
- Improving sustainability credentials by reducing food miles
- Attracting new customers
- Supporting a vibrant food and drink sector in Horsham District and wider Sussex
Take part in Sussex Six

The Sussex Six campaign is the result of the Plate Up Local initiative commissioned by Horsham District Council, managed by Natural Partnerships CIC and part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The 'Sussex Six’ concept was created by Nick Hempleman, founder of The Sussex Produce Company.
