Playgroup Festival is a festival of contemporary performing arts that has taken place in both Kent and East Sussex in England.
In addition to contemporary music, the festival has hosted comedy, cabaret and other arts and activities.
Regarded as a minor event in British culture, the festival is inspired by the creative output of Sussex and Kent, especially the City of Brighton & Hove. The organising production company, most of the performing artists and the festival crew are all based in the City.[1] In the first four years, a majority of the attendees came from London and Brighton.
The festival has been both reviewed and awarded accolades as one of the best small festivals in the UK.[2]
