Fatboy Slim visits The 1st Central County Ground

Local superstar DJ Fatboy Slim paid a special visit to The 1st Central County Ground  as part of his ‘Bleat Sleep Graze Repeat’ charity walk, in aid of the Martlets Hospice.

The Marlets ambassador set off in Brighton at 9am this morning, completing an entire half-marathon that saw him visit every Shaun the Sheep across Brighton and Hove, to help raise awareness and vital funds for the charity.

The Sussex Cricket Foundation proudly sponsored its very own sheep ‘Shaun’s Neon Car Wash’, which is based at the entrance to The 1st Central County Ground and is one of 42 in the Shaun by the Sea Art Trail.

The Shaun the Sheep was designed by local artist, Chloe Batchelor, and was installed at the ground in the first week of September.

Martlets is a local charity providing essential care to people affected by terminal illness in Brighton and Hove, and surrounding areas.

Their expert teams provide the very best care and support, helping patients and their loved ones to live life to the full during the precious time they have together.

As well as raising awareness for the Martlets, the trail will help to promote the work of the Sussex Cricket Foundation, the charitable arm of Sussex Cricket.
