Of course you still have the Sussex & The World Weekend activities on Hove Lawns on the August bank holiday (26-28th August and is free entry) and there is also a Sussex Gin Week program that runs alongside the festival.
The full event listing are viewable via the festival website http://ift.tt/12kYPza but here are my unmissable picks.
Sunday 3 September
Pike & Pine with Ridgeview: From Root to Fruit
Pike & Pine, 1D St James’s Street, Brighton BN2 1RE • 7.30pm
One of the city's most exciting chefs, Matt Gillan, plus one of the best of our Sussex wine makers are teaming up to create a seven course menu, celebrating what makes English sparkling wine amazing. Starting from the roots where the vines began, to the fruit they produce, this sounds like a fascinating dinner. I hope my favourite of the Ridgeview wines, their Blanc de Blancs, gets a deserving edible makeover. Unmissable.
Advance tickets £125 including food and wine available from reservations@pikeandpine.co.uk
(A deposit of £50 per person is required for this event)

64 Degrees on Safari
Murmur, 91-96 Kings Road Arches, Brighton BN1 2FN • 7pm
From their new restaurant space on the seafront, 64 Degrees are going ‘On Safari’ with an epic beach BBQ of exotic meats from around the world. After a summer of uncle Ken's burnt sausages and soggy coleslaw, we could all do with a bit of a lux spin on the often mistreated BBQ, eh? Expect surprises, interesting combinations and you have the option of a matched wine flight available too.
