Ian, thanks for the tip-off. When the Lewes Saturday Folk Club (formerly the Lewes Arms, now at the Elephant & Castle) puts on several all-day workshops on the same day, we need to use more than one pub at a time. At the moment we use the Elephant itself, the Crown and the Royal Oak; it's always handy to know of another possible venue.

The Snowdrop used to be veggie and also sold antique furniture, so you could buy a meat-free pie and a table to put it on as well. It's a pleasant, slightly dotty pub in a quiet cul-de-sac and has a bit of garden. It used to run The Alternative Miss World Competiton, a drag extravaganza with attitude.
