Folk clubs/sessions in Kent/E Sussex?

I'll be spending a week in Camber Sands from August 15-20th.

Are there any nearby (ish) folk clubs, singarounds, sessions or open mics? Kent/East Sussex borders sort of area?

I'll be in a car so happy to drive for, say, half an hour but not much more than that.

I'm aware of the kentfolk website but couldn't really see anything in its listings that fit the bill.

Thanks for the links.
There doesn't appear to be anything all that close by. Nothing at Rye, which is a shame.

The Stag Inn at Hastings looks to be my best bet. About half an hour's drive from where I'll be. Looks like the Stag Inn there has a singaround or session most weeknights.

A Scottish friend, fiddle player, who lives down there goes to a regular instrumental session at a pub in Hastings, but not sure which day of the week or which pub! He keeps them all confused with the occasional strathspey!
