brighton’s biggest gardening event
Seedy Sunday in Brighton and Hove is the UK’s biggest and longest-running community seed swap event. From 2025, the Food Partnership took on the running of this much-loved community event.
Seedy Sunday takes place on the first Sunday in February in Brighton and Hove. A range of stallholders and talks offer inspiration & support for new and experienced gardeners alike.
At the heart of Seedy Sunday is the huge seed swap table where seeds are donated and swapped. Everyone is welcome to bring seeds to swap, or make a small donation for a packet.
Stallholders also offer seeds and gardening kit for sale. Event volunteers and local community groups are also on hand and happy to share their expertise and experiences of growing locally.
Whether you have seeds to swap or not, Seedy Sunday is the perfect place to kick-off your growing season, getting seeds, materials & inspiration for the months ahead.
