The BN9 Programme is a vibrant calendar of exhibitions, workshops and events that take place at the Marine Workshops & the Sidings courtyard on Newhaven’s east quay. These spaces also host a diverse line up of cultural events, produced and curated by local and visiting independent arts and community organisations.
This collaborative project has been produced and managed by Towner, and funded by the Newhaven Enterprise Zone with support from Lewes District Council since 2022.
