Welcome

Rocket FM is an independent community radio station based in Lewes, East Sussex, UK. We broadcast a mix of local discussion, interviews and chat, plus a broad range of music genres from Sussex and around the World. At the end of the broadcast come Lewes's huge Bonfire Night celebrations on 5th November.

    Money makes the world go round and it also makes the Rocket blast off each Autumn!

    Each year we have to roll the stone up the mountain again and raise about £6,000 to get the Rocket aloft once more, even though all volunteer time is given free, gratis and for nothing.

    For the past couple of years, we have been able to sell donated new books with bargain prices at events such as the above, helping to bridge the gap between sponsorship and the total cost of the broadcast.

  • Tenth Birthday Year!

    Rocket FM

    Did you know that East Sussex Radio Society will be ten years old this year?

    The society of volunteers behind Rocket FM was founded in 2001, with the aim of getting a genuinely local station for Lewes, East Sussex, back on air, if only under a series of temporary licences.

    Over the last nine years, Rocket FM has become a familiar part of the local scene and the Bonfire season each Autumn.

    Planning is now starting for our tenth anniversary season and we aim to make it the best ever, as well putting on some extra events to celebrate a decade of Rocket FM.

    Watch this space!
