Kemp Town Enclosures has been around for a long time and we have tried to bring our regulations into line with modern practice. We really want to signal how keen we are for people to use and enjoy the Gardens, but we must have some rules and stick to them. Here they are;

1. The Board of Directors of the Company accepts no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage or injury, and the Gardens are used entirely at your own risk.

2. The occupiers and their families and household living in Sussex Square, Lewes Crescent, Arundel Terrace and Chichester Terrace who have paid the annual Garden Rate shall be permitted to to hold a key to the Enclosures.

3. Parties, firework displays and similar social events for more than 20 people are permitted only with the permission of the agents. The person responsible for the event must ensure that their guests are made aware of these regulations, that no damage is caused and that all rubbish is removed.

4 All users of the Gardens must ensure that the gates are kept shut after entry or exit.

5 No bicycle may be ridden in the enclosures, and no-one shall disturb the quiet enjoyment of the Gardens by the use of radios or noisy appliances or by disorderly conduct.

6 No Barbeques allowed in the Enclosures this year.

7 Parents must be responsible for the conduct and safety of their children at all times.

8 No games shall be played which could cause injury or nuisance to other users or damage to the amenities. Games should be played in the South Garden on the lawn south of the Green Hut. Please do not use cricket balls or other hard projectiles.

9 All dogs exercised in the South Garden must be registered with the agents and owners must abide by the registration rules. Dogs are not permitted in the North Garden.

10 Any person in breach of these rules may forfeit the right to use the Gardens and may be required to surrender their key to any member of the Board.

Additionally, there is one unwritten rule; PLEASE do not allow anyone, even children, to relieve themselves in the Garden.
We have also become a bit stricter about fireworks since these regulations were written, and the only fireworks displays we will authorise must be professionally managed with appropriate insurance.
You may have noticed that there are no estate agents 'For Sale' boards on the estate. A local ordinance forbidding them on aesthetic grounds came into force in 2004. For local estate agents please consult 'links'. We should also say that the agent for Kemp Town Enclosures, Jonathan Rolls at 244 Eastern Road, BN2 5TA is also a reliable estate agent.
