Returning for its 13th year, we are proud to once more celebrate the achievements of the county's most precious asset with the Child of Sussex Awards 2026!

 

After brilliant events over the last few years, we're once again taking the awards back to the circus on Friday 26 June with this year's hosts once again being Knockhatch Adventure Park and the East Sussex School of Circus Arts in the middle of the Sussex countryside.
 

This year, we were pleased to be streaming the awards ceremony live via our website and on Facebook, so we could share the stories of these wonderful and inspirational people. Just click below to watch this year's awards!
