Toad Hall Adventure play is open 7 days a week and offers soft play facilities for children from…read morebabies through to juniors. There's a good under 3s section with a ball pit and 2-stage climbing frame (soft). There are some sit-on soft toys and some blocks. The floor is a bit suspect and there's a bit of an old smell to the area - nothing terrible but you do notice it. The play equipment appears safe but could be in better condition. The main soft play is a triple height affair with climbing, balls, slides and chutes. It's safe and in better condition than the toddler area. At weekends and after school this place can get packed but, during the day it's not too bad. A cafe facility is available serving teas, coffees, soft drinks and snacks. The prices are reasonable. Tables are kept away from the soft play being behind a low wall. They are OK but there's not a good view of the play area meaning that it's hard to have a coffee and take care of your child. For many parents this just seems to mean that they don't watch their child and so you do have to be careful that your child doesn't get set upon by unrully kids. It's not a particularly comfortable place but it's a good local option for a rainy day. Car parking is available.

Although the hall felt cold when we entered, it heated up fast with the dancing The classes were fun and we learned a lot of new moves in both classes. Though we didn't get home til 1.30am, it was a great night of dancing

Having been living in the US for the last five years, I had fond memories of Drusillas as a kid. We…read morewent there with a local friend and found it to be just as enjoyable as an adult. (Immature adult albeit.) Sadly having gone on a weekday, we found a lot of the food places closed and more importantly the plush shop was closed. Drusillas is a very cleverly worked space; it looks small but the way all the animals and spaces are laid out, it feels more like you're exploring around each corner. The price is fair for the amount of animals, interactive little games and the few rides they have there.. plus the fun little adventure maze. Whilst yes, there are attractions more child orientated, there is more than enough for us children at heart to enjoy too.

I would most definitely NOT recommend Swingers. We pre-booked this as a big group as part of my hen…read moredo and were really looking forward to planing Crazy golf but from the moment we arrived things just got worse and worse. Upon arriving one of us had tripped on the ramp directly outside the door as this was not clearly taped and made apparent to everyone that there was a trip hazard straight outside the door, as this happened the security man in the door picked on our friend and decided to make it apparent that she was not going to be allowed to participate and that a manager had to assess if she was fit enough to play.. To which we stated not only did she trip in the ramp but she is unsteady on her feet on a normal day due to her disability, however they did not take that into account and still persisted to accuse her of being intoxicated and unfit to play.. We were then eventually allowed to go inside to order our drinks to which our friend who was picked on at the door was not allowed any alcohol to which we still explained her disability to which they persisted that she was not allowed and Alcohol, shortly after this they said she was unable to play all together and that they would refund her, however we still did not find this very fair given the circumstances the manager still persisted to single my disabled friend out and make the situation worse, and the manager did not give any sympathy to the fact they had made my friend cry over this whole situation.. We then got some drinks at the bar, which were disgusting, might I add that I ordered a gin and lemonade, however I would say this was just a bland drink of ice, more than anything else.. I find it very frustrating that not only did they accuse my friend of being intoxicated, they are more than happy to serve you alcohol at the bar as much as you want, yet they then say if your too intoxicated you are unable to play yet they are happy to pour out as many drinks possible... We spoke to the security and manager on multiple occasions to explained the situation however they couldn't of cared any less and where completely unreasonable given the situation.. Before leaving a few people decided to use the toilets before going elsewhere to which we were greeted by a few women who were so pissed they could hardly go to the toilet themselves, let alone play crazy golf, however they were given entry and were allowed to play crazy golf as well as keep getting drinks at the bar.. Based on this experience I would not recommend as they are very unreasonable and unfair to customers, even more so discriminating people who are disabled, highly disappointed and a waste of time, will definitely not return.

Arlington is a small reservoir, constructed in 1971 to supply water to Eastbourne, Hailsham,…read morePolegate and Heathfield. Built on the site of part of the Cuckmere River bed, the reservoir is an oval shape, with a long curving dam. The maximum depth is 37ft (11.3m) and its total capacity is 3546 million litres of water, all abstracted from the Cuckmere River in winter. The 49 hectare site was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1985, and is also a Local Nature Reserve. It contains a diverse range of habitats, which in turn support some 173 species of bird, including a winter population of 10,000 wildfowl. The site has hides for birdwatching, and also provides some of the best trout fishing in the South East of England (tel: 01323 870810). The water company also organises school nature trips, including pond dipping. The reservoir path also provides a reasonably level walking trail, which, as well as wildlife, also offers lovely views of the South Downs. A walking leaflet (http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/047A41DB-1684-4128-AADD-1C508D15F780/0/ArlingtonReservoirWalkWebversion.pdf) is available on the East Sussex County Council website or you can get a hard copy by phoning 01273 482250.

Overall, this is a wonderful place to visit if you want a day trip out or if you are touring East Sussex. I personally have recommended this place to people wanting to go to see some beautiful sights.

Important in the summer heat: take the complimentary shuttle to the top and walk down. You'll be so glad you did.

Climbing to the roof, anticipating a breathtaking view is pointless if it's summer. Do it after the leaves have fallen or you'll get a big fat view of tree, as well as heatstroke.

Michelham Priory is a delightful place to visit between Lewes and Eastbourne: a Tudor House set…read moreamongst lovely gardens, within England's longest extant water-filled moat, situated in the wonderfully-named village of Upper Dicker. Founded as an Augustinian Priory in 1229, it thrived until the Dissolution in 1537, when the church was dismantled and the stone used for building in the surrounding area. A few years later, the estate was bought by a local nobleman, and a substantial Tudor House was built utilising the remaining monastic buildings, chiefly the Refectory and the Priest's apartments. To-day, the house - an odd mix of ecclesiastical and Tudor domestic architecture - contains an undercroft, kitchen and a range of domestic rooms, filled with antiques, tapestries and exhibits telling the story of the inhabitants over the years. But there is plenty more to see, before walking around the grounds and exploring its impressive and picturesque moat. There's a mediaeval Gatehouse, Elizabethan barn, a small replica of an Iron Age village, a working watermill and a Blacksmith's Forge, for starters. The water mill has been rebuilt many times over the years, but is recorded as early as 1434, and possibly existed before that. You can watch the mill at work, and buy some of the resulting organic wholemeal flour. Close by are two reconstructed Iron Age houses, built by the East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Project, to demonstrate experimental archaeology. The barn is mainly used for functions, with weddings and Civil Partnerships a specialty. Next door is a small and reasonably-priced tea-room and restaurant, and also a Forge where, on selected days, a blacksmith is at work, making ornamental ironmongery. Finally, there's a shop, selling all sorts of items with a countryside theme, such as preserves, lavender, garden ornaments, stationery and books - perfect for presents for Great Aunts. The staff throughout were exceptionally jolly and friendly - all a bit less formal than the National Trust. The Priory hosts events all year round: on our visit, there was a small rally of vintage cars and motor-cycles. See web-site for details. Much of the main site is accessible by wheelchair, although neither the paths around the northern part of the moat nor the upper rooms or the undercroft of the house are accessible.
