We are thrilled to share with you our love for the Rye Scallop Festival. This is an annual event that celebrates the local scallops that can be found in the surrounding waters of Rye, East Sussex. It’s an event that we look forward to every year.
Our location in the heart of Rye is perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the restaurants participating in the festival. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from. And the best part? You won’t have to worry about transportation, as most of the restaurants are just a short walk away from Rye Red Cottage B&B.
The Rye Scallop Festival has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century when Rye was a bustling fishing town. Scallops were a popular catch, and the locals developed their own unique way of preparing them. Today, the festival continues to celebrate this important part of Rye’s history and culture. During the festival, you can sample delicious scallop dishes prepared by local chefs, as well as enjoy live music, craft stalls, and other fun activities.

Our charming B&B is the perfect home base for exploring all that Rye has to offer, especially during the Rye Scallop Festival. So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay with us today and get ready for an unforgettable festival experience!
