The Venue; A converted barn in the middle of Tulleys Farm, the setting for these escape rooms is stunning and the moment you step into the waiting area you're welcomed by puzzles and brain teasers to get your brain working amongst comfortable settings (winter visits with the wood fires turned on will be a must...). The staff are very friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere and making you feel at home throughout. The Escape Rooms; Our group split into two, one group completing Mutiny and the other taking on Nethercott Manor. Avoiding spoilers, each escape room consisted of more than just one room, puzzles ranging from relatively basic to seriously tricky. Lights, frights, smoke and generally everything you could want to get you into your theme. The staff get you well prepared before going in, giving you a full brief of how the rooms work and what to look out for, and if you're struggling they might give you a little helping hand (still on theme, of course). Our groups came out absolutely buzzing from the games, wanting to talk about what they had experienced but not wanting to ruin it for others as we will absolutely be going back in the future......! Great day out and highly recommended.

Owned and managed by West Sussex County Council, it is a haven for quiet recreation and a variety of wildlife. The waters at Buchan are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for the variety of dragonfly species. The park is an ideal place for walking, wildlife watching or enjoying a picnic.

Lose yourself amongst the birch trees, wander around the heath and linger in the meadow, Buchan Park has plenty to offer.

Beautiful Park. Pleased to see that the toilets are now reopen and they have also added a coffee mobile unit just past the car park. Had a lovely walk with the children and dogs plus had a picnic. Plenty of picnic tables and bins around. Very little dog poo been left too due to loads of bins and the poo fairy posters. My kids love it here and we visited here several times since June.

My kids love Ifield Mill pond, , call it Auckland, it is so quiet and clean, full with all typed of birds and ducks, we go and feed the ducks and have a little picnic on the bench, lots to learn about, my kids are 7, 5 and 3 and always ask to go here, it's free and the fresh air is so good for them, it's safe and all the people we have met are super friendly, mainly dog walkers, the good thing is there is a little tesco up the hill, so no need to make a picnic, you can just grab some sandwiches and a drink from there, even some bread of something for the ducks, so a really good back up for a park, also there is a park and another duck pond at the shop, so it turns into a nice little morning out, Ifield west is clean and safe, it's a hidden gem, also a little bit of history to learn about with the museum there too. Highly recommend it for young families looking for a cheap morning out the house.

Went to The Hawth last night with my daughter, we sat in Row P which had plenty of leg room as there is an aisle immediately in front. The seats were in a good position to see the stage but were not very comfortable. The acoustics at The Hawth are very good and "You Win Again" tribute band were excellent. Parking at the venue was very easy with plenty of spaces, the staff were friendly & helpful, we did not order any drinks in the interval. Thank You to everyone for a very relaxing & enjoyable evening, we will look forward to coming again.
