William Clarke Park, better known as The Patch, is a public park in Brighton, England, which was opened in the late 20th century. The park has a sports area, which contains a basketball hoop and a football goal, a children’s playground and a pond among other things. It can be accessed by paths from Hartington Road, Picton Street and Franklin Street.
Patchfest was an annual community festival held in the park, organised by the Friends of William Clarke committee and staffed by volunteers, . The festival consisted of live music, stalls, games with food and drink stalls.
On 8 May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a virtual Patchfest to replace the in person festival, as restrictions at the time did not allow in-person meetings.
These days, we host two annual events, one in Spring and one in Autumn.
Future committee meetings hosted upstairs at The Islingword, Brighton are:
- Tuesday February 25th
- Thursday March 27th
