English Martyrs Catholic Church

Reviewed By 301Billy - London, United Kingdom

The ceiling here is amazing! Plus there are lots of paintings and the windows are fabulous. We went during a talk so we learned a lot about the church and its history. It's best to visit on a sunny day.

TeamSport Go Karting Brighton

Reviewed By Vaughan1111 - Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

We had a great time there tonight but we're not happy as our 2nd go was cut short by 4 minutes, as we pulled into the pits I looked at the clock and it said we had 4 minutes left! I asked the marshal why we had be brought off early and he said the clock was wrong and took me to the computer next to the track and said 'see' then corrected himself and walked off when the clock was 3 SECONDS out of time not 4 minutes!!! This is appalling to ruin people's fun by taking a 1/3 of there track time off them for no reason then trying to justify it and being wrong and having no explanation then walking off.
When I returned home I added up the lap times on both my score cards, the first being 14 minutes the second being 10.5 minutes.
I'll be contacting them tomorrow to complain.
Other than that it's great fun and a good night out.

Cissbury Ring

Reviewed By gomms13 - West Sussex, United Kingdom

Cissbury is a great place to have a walk on the South downs with amazing views and easy access, making it generally ok for all ages and fitness levels to enjoy. It's not usually that busy either so it really does feel like a 'Getaway'.

Mewsbrook Park

Mewsbrook Park is just a minute’s walk from the beach in the seaside resort of Littlehampton, West Sussex. It covers approximately four hectares and boasts a number of attractions including boating lake, miniature railway, café, original art deco shelters and children’s play area. Opened in 1939, the Mewsbrook sets a high horticultural bench mark for public parks. Large shrub and long herbaceous borders together with bee and butterfly Gardens provide colour and interest throughout the year. The lake serves as an excellent local amenity, and is regularly used by visitors for boating. The lake and island are also a haven for wildlife. Starting in 2017 a new leisure centre is to be built, accommodating a proportion of Ruby Gardens. A re landscaped Ruby Gardens is anticipated to open in 2018 with focus on conservation. There is a positive sense of community in the park, supported by the Friends of Mewsbrook Park, Mewsbrook Park Café and Boat Hire and Littlehampton Miniature Railway.

Used to go here often as a kid in the 80s. Me & my brother would catch sticklebacks in the little stream.(Not sure if you're allowed to do that now) Health & Safety!!??
Returned for the first time in over 20 years with my wife and its still as beautiful, tranquil oasis as I can remember.

The Clockhouse Bar

Reviewed By MichelleHG2013 - London, United Kingdom

We are regular visitors to this great bar and Deli. The bar area is friendly with great live music on some evenings. Wines and beer are excellent.
Upstairs is a fabulous bistro Deli serving superb food and drink. It's cosy and has really chilled background music. Colin and Karen could not be better, more friendly hosts.
Try it. You will not be disappointed.

Took my great niece to do rock climbing on a recommendation. Booked the £15 an hour session on line which seemed excessive but thought it would be worth it. Arrived to find a huge amount of children on our session and whilst the safety briefing was excellent- my child spent most the the hour queued up waiting a turn. So in effect it was £15 for half an hour!
The whole place was heaving with parents with insufficient places to sit, let alone eat and the noise levels were horrendous. My ears are still ringing from the screams in the soft play and general din.
The concept is excellent and the place clean. Food basic and slightly over priced. I would visit again but definitely not during the school breaks.

As you drive towards Arundel you can see the castle looming over the town. It’s impressive now so goodness knows how it must have seemed in the Middle Ages.
The Gardens are beautiful with lots of events on in the summer months.
The inside of the castle is pretty amazing too. Well worth a visit.

Highdown Gardens

Reviewed By CrispyHomer - Worthing, United Kingdom

Set on the side of the Downs. These Gardens have a variety of different plantings set out in an interesting way. Lovely pond areas and there is always something to see, no matter which time of year you visit, although spring and summer are my favourite times. Something for all ages, not just the garden enthusiasts, as the kids like exploring and there are many places to hide!

Lancing Beach

Reviewed By SueandFran - Brighton

We took our 2 grandchildren 5 and 10 for a day out on the beach.

Lovely safe sandy beach at low tide and a grassed area behind with a good activity playground. Nice café if you want it as well. Will be going back again to chill whilst the children have great fun.
Parking was only £1.50 for the day, but it does fill up quite quickly.
