FA Cup fever is sweeping Sussex ahead of Brighton and Hove Albion’s semi-final appearance at Wembley on April 6 – and the trophy itself recently spent a day in the county for an event raising money for the Seagulls’ official charity.

The Picture House Cinema and Restaurant in Uckfield played host to the iconic trophy on Sunday (March 24) after owner Kevin Markwick won a visit from the FA Cup in a charity auction.

Mr Markwick, who is an Albion fan and season ticket holder at the American Express Community Stadium, was determined to use the visit to support Albion in the Community (AITC) and invited people to visit his restaurant and grab a selfie with the cup in return for a donation to AITC.
