This is a beautifully restored castle. Very detail oriented. One can get free tours of the castle and the manor. L Ron Hubbard was the last owner of the castle and one can learn about his life. He loved to live there. I can see why, it is simply beautiful, the rolling hills and lot's of space around, it's a good place to take an afternoon walk and explore the castle.

My 13 year old daughter wanted her eyebrows shaped for the first time and we were recommended to Palak by a close friend. We were made to feel extremely welcome and she was excellent at explaining everything and very patient. My daughter said the eyebrow threading hardly hurt and is thrilled with her new shape. Palak took the time to advise and ensure my daughter was happy. As my daughter wanted to book a treatment, I decided to book to have my eyebrows and lashes dyed at the same time. Having used many local beauticians, the attention to detail and professionalism was first class. I am so thrilled with the service we received today and would not hesitate to recommend Palak. Thank you so much, 2 very happy customers, who will be back soon. By far the best and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Also no pain, very skilled. Thank you ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this bouldering centre! I used to go regularly with a friend and have also been solo and it’s a very open and friendly place. I love how they have table tennis, a slide & garden area! There’s a huge range of routes set at varying grades & they also reroute an area of the gym every week, so there’s always something new to check out. Lots of vegan options at the cafe too which is so nice. Also, 10/10 music playlists.

Nestled in the Sussex countryside with views across the High Weald, James and Margaret Beale chose an idyllic location to build their rural retreat. Designed by Philip Webb, Standen is one of the most complete examples of Arts and Crafts workmanship, with Morris & Co. interiors and a story of family life in 1925. Outside, Mrs Beales passion for gardening inspires a major restoration of her 12-acre hillside garden. Each garden room has a distinct character and offers something for every season from spring bulbs to autumn colour. Explore the wider estate with footpaths leading out into the woodlands. Close at 4pm November - January

This is a beautifully maintained former family country retreat. As a result it’s both homely and fascinating. It has many of the Beale family mementos and magnificent soft furnishings as the women of the house were prolific embroiderers. The house itself was designed for the Beales by a talented architect of the period, Philip Webb, and richly dressed with William Morris wallpapers and other beautiful arts and crafts furnishings. There is a knowledgable volunteer guide in each room to answer questions or reflect with you about the life and times of the residents. Their passion is evident. It looks like the family have just popped out for a walk and will be back for afternoon tea shortly. There’s currently an enjoyable exhibition on William Morris on display in the house which helps to explain where his creativity came from. I loved the WM themed autumnal flower arrangements on each of the main external doors. There are delightful gardens and paths to explore although I only made it round the kitchen garden due to extensive rain.There is a cafe in the outbuildings of the house selling the usual range of NT tempting treats and also a shop with the addition some William Morris items to the NT range.

Took my daughter here to see Little Women, fantastic film. It was our first time at this cinema and we will definitely be back! A lovely cinema, nice and cosy, clean and modern toilets and what’s more, the price of the tickets were half the normal price you normally pay at bigger venues! Would definitely recommend this place!

What a golden gem: live ballet at our local theatre, great quality dance and sound, with an impressive view of the stage. The theatre has a lovely atmosphere created by the staff most of whom are volunteers; a good choice at the bar and coffee shop. Only minus was the lack of programme for the event, not the fault of the theatre, and the lack of cloakroom for our very wet coats however a volunteer provided a chair for our coats to dry out. Thank You.
