South Downs event notification contacts

If you’re organising an event in a public space including use public highways and public rights of way or your event is expecting large number of public to attend, it is advisable to the police and the District / City or Borough council where your event is going to take place. The list below is all the contact details or web pages need to notify police and Districts through which the South Downs Way passes.

Each District Council has the power to call a Safety Advisory Group (SAG), bringing together all the emergency services and licencing authorities to discuss large events. SAG groups are not there to prevent events but to ensure public safety and offer advice about event plans. The earlier you can notify the relevant Authorities the better.

This Mileage chart shows the distance between various points along the South Downs Way in miles. The places listed in Bold are to be found on the Trail, the places listed in italic are near by villages with facilities such as public transport, refreshments and accommodation but are found just off the Trail. The figures in brackets next to 'off Trail' locations are the distances along the Trail before you need to head off the Trail, followed by the distance from the Trail to the village. A number of 'off Trail' locations have several access route options, but the closest or easiest has been chosen here. All distances are approximate and rounded to the nearest 1/2 mile.

7. How to Donate to the South Downs Way

National Trails are maintained largely at public expense and by volunteers. National Trails are maintained to a higher standard than the general rights of way network in recognition of their national status and high usage. The ongoing maintenance and improvement amounts to thousands of pounds each year. Much of this work is not a statutory duty of the local councils and relies on good will and partnerships. Events, particularly large events, can put extra strain on these already popular routes.

To help maintain the Trails, event organisers are encouraged to donate at least £1 per participant for one-day events using a National Trail.

Donate via our website

Donations can be made online using the National Trail website. Donating in this way also helps maintain the National Trails website which helps to promote your events. 20% of donations made through the website will go to maintaining the website and 80% will be spent on the trail itself. https://southdowns.charitycheckout.co.uk/sdw#!/

Please include a reference along with your donation detailing the event name and your organisation so that we can acknowledge your generosity.

All event donations are acknowledged on the website, and via the National Trail website and social media. Every pound really does help us to maintain the trail to the highest standard to be enjoyed by everyone for years to come.
