What do we do the rest of the year!


Every Christmas people ask what we do for the rest of the year and if we sit on a beach until next December.

Our Story
2019-2021
We started Dusk & Duchy while studying at Sussex University, by holding outdoor cinema events in Stanmer park. When Covid hit, we changed our focus into drive-in cinema and concerts.
​
Heading into winter, we knew that we’d need to shift our focus once again, to keep us going through the colder months. We started selling Christmas trees, and with support from Tina and Russell, had the opportunity for our first in-person pitch outside Concorde2 on Madeira drive.
2022-2023
In 2022, we decided to move into the world of catering. We bought an old, broken horse box from Facebook marketplace, and spent many winter days converting it with any materials we could find. We learnt how to make quality, barista-style coffee and got on the road, driving our horsebox all across Sussex and the surrounding areas.
In 2023, we decided to try out the world of festival catering. During this year we traded at festivals including Wilderness and On The Beach.
​
When the festive period rolled around again, we decided to build our delivery sleigh, and added Reginald the tractor to the team.
​
2024
2024 has been our biggest (and busiest!) year yet. Dusk & Duchy has seen us go from Brighton Fringe, Glastonbury, Boardmasters, We Out Here, and finally back home for the Brighton Christmas Market.
We’re excited to see what the future holds and thank you all for your support.
