What is Creative Newhaven?

Welcome to the Creative Newhaven group page.
Developing a supportive infrastructure to harness Newhaven’s creative talent & potential for the town’s benefit.

Here you will find information about the group and how we are supporting creativity in Newhaven.

In 2022 at least £119,000 of inward investment was attracted into the arts in Newhaven from sources other than the EZ. Read about this and the other ways that the EZ is increasing capacity and achieving regeneration through the arts in the 2022 evaluation, Executive Summary and Full Report.
