BUDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS CALLED ON
TO CAPTURE KINGSCOTE VALLEY
Visit Kingscote Valley has launched a new
seasonal photography competition seeking
a photo that represents the very best of the
season within the Kingscote Valley area,
whether that be spring flowers in the Standen
House garden, or the Weir Wood Reservoir
landscape. A prize from a Kingscote Valley
attraction is on offer for the best photo of each
season and an annual overall winner will also
be chosen.
Kingscote Valley is a new tourism destination
consisting of 2,000-acres of stunning Sussex
countryside surrounding East Grinstead and
packed with activities and places to stay, eat
and explore.
“The countryside surrounding East Grinstead is
very picturesque, so we wanted a competition
that encourages everyone to explore, enjoy
and share their images of the Kingscote
Valley,” said Dawn Spalding, town promotions
manager at East Grinstead Tourism.
“There are so many amazing things to see and
do within the Kingscote Valley that we want
local residents, as well as visitors to Sussex,
to know what’s on offer,” added Councillor
Gary Marsh, cabinet member for economic
development and property at Mid Sussex
District Council.
The competition starts on March 1 for the
spring season and photos submitted need
to be taken within the Kingscote Valley area,
12
which stretches south from East Grinstead
to West Hoathly, and includes the area
around Kingscote station and the Weir Wood
Reservoir.
Prizes include a Deers Leap Park family pass
for four including bike hire, lunch for two at
Gravetye Manor, a Busses Farm beef box,
and a Kingscote Estate vineyard tour and wine
tasting for two. One prize will be awarded to
the overall winning photo for each season
