In November 1998, 14 years ago, I published my first edition of the Family Grapevine in the Mid Sussex area. I am also the joint editor of the Brighton /Hove edition of the Family Grapevine too. The Family Grapevine is a carefully researched source of useful information and has been well respected and widely used by local people, families moving into a new area, health visitors, doctors, the police, hospitals, local councils, social services, grandparents and many others from the very beginning.

The listings are FREE for all sports and dance clubs, support groups, toddler activities, school and anything that is vital to a family directory.

We are also building our web site to make it useful and relevant year round to families in Sussex. If you have interesting local news that you think other parents would enjoy then do let us have it and we will publish it on the web site. We also keep our ‘What’s On’ listings up to date with events that are finalised after the paper magazine goes to press, so do let us have details of your family events and we’ll add them at any time.

If you would like to add a listing or add an event for a group, club or business that you are involved with please do get in touch. The listings are free and all you need to do is email or phone us with the details.
