WHO WE ARE

Who we are

SIDMOUTH COASTAL COMMUNITY HUB

Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub Community Interest Company (CIC) (formerly Sidmouth Drill Hall Hub CIC) grew out of the campaign to save the Drill Hall at the eastern end of Sidmouth seafront.

Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub devises, sources, and delivers projects that focus on community engagement, events, local economic growth, the coast, education, creativity, the arts, sustainability, and responsible tourism.

Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub CIC under its former name created an annual community festival called Sidmouth Sea Fest to create the conditions for our aims to be achieved.
