I had a trip around the brewery at Partridge Green, with friends, which was very informative and led by a very informative guide, Graham. We were taken through the whole brewing process, from water to end product including the canning process. Staff at the brewery were really friendly and we were invited to hep ourselves to five different beers throughout the visit. The brewery shop has branded clothing, beers on tap and bottled cans and beers from their own brews as well as brews both local and from near and far. A very worthwhile trip.

I cannot praise Huxlelys enough! Lived in Horsham over 25 years and had never been?! We got there in time for the first meet an owl session, had a wander round to see the birds, went for lunch in the garden centre, then back for the second meet an owl and the flying display. The team are wonderful, welcoming and very humorous! We so lucky to be able to take part in the display and fly some of the birds. For a relatively inexpensive day out compared to many days out for 7 of us it was an experience we won’t forget!
3. Knepp Wildland Safaris
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 421 reviews
Knepp - one of the largest re-wilding projects in lowland Europe. Encounter herds of wild ponies, cattle, deer and pigs as they roam 3,500 acres of Sussex, driving the forces of habitat regeneration. Join us on one of our vehicle-based safaris or guided walking tours and experience our profusion of birds, mammals, butterflies, beetles, reptiles, plants and fungi in a setting that feels as wild and dynamic as the African bush. Stay in one of our beautiful shepherd's huts or luxurious tents, or simply pitch your own in our exclusive Wildland campsite. You don't have to take one of our safaris to stay here, and you don't have to stay here to take a safari - though naturally we hope you'll be tempted to combine the two.

I regularly cycle along various parts of this fantastic old railway line and yesterday I travelled the entire length which was amazing. Mostly flat with a steep and confusing stretch between Rudgwick and Cranleigh and from this point forth going North it became apparent that the signage, which had been excellent throughout the Sussex stretch, was now very poor and where existent was largely unmaintained. This made it a little more difficult to ensure I was on the right track and the directions around Cranleigh were almost non existent. This aside the route takes one through some amazing English countryside on what is an easy and pleasant bridle-path. Normally there's loads of places to stop for snacks etc but due to lock-down these were largely all closed down. Only exception is the Old Railway pub (formerly the Cat & Canary) in Henfield that has set up an outdoor takeaway facility in their large beer garden which is open 7 days a week. Excellent service in a lovely spot.

Amazing afternoon had at Kissingate Brewery. Gary and Bunny are an outstanding combination. Brewery Tour was detailed and informative, Gary offers many stories of his micro brewery journey and Bunny puts together an amazing ploughmans and cream tea. The perfect experience ????

Went to see Peter Pan with my husband and two daughters (10 & 12). Have to say we all had a lovely time. Great performances and typical pantomime cheesy humour... Brilliant pantomime dame stole the show but all were good.
