Besides doing a wonderful job of saving lives at sea, it is a must see for tourists who do not live by the sea. Most of our students live inland, and for many it is the first time they have seen the sea or even a lifeboat. What us seasiders take for granted is a complete fascination to landlubbers.

The perfect start to your visit to Rye! The Rye Heritage Centre is the home of the 'Story of Rye' Town Model Sound and Light show, a handmade scale model of Victorian Rye that plays a show that takes you through 700 years of Rye's history. Historic Audio Walking Tours are available for hire, with guided ghost tours available on selected dates during the winter months. The Heritage Centre is also host to a fantastic working collection of Old Pier Penny Arcade amusement machines, and has a wide variety of books and maps on Rye and the surrounding area, as well as exclusive locally made pottery and souvenirs in the gift shop.

This is the best ghost walk I've ever had. It's only £10 per person and takes about 2.5h-3h. It was a horrible weather when we did this but as it was so interesting we stayed till the end. Includes a lot of history of Rye too. Recommend to book it well in advance.

Super thriller. It left both my wife and I asking ourselves how just three actors could keep an audience in suspense right to the end and after the last curtain call? Fantastic Anthony Horowitz, Thank you.

This information centre has a lot of good local and surrounding area information and the staff are very helpful. You can also purchase cheaper rail tickets to London and bus tickets to Brighton. Worth phone a visit if you are a visitor to the area.

I bought a last minute ticket when I was drunk and didn’t even consider how I would get it there from Bristol! However I got a train and an Airbnb and off I went on my solo adventure. Although my ticket was classed as restricted view it wasn’t too bad-it was to the side of the stage ( I assumed there would be a huge pillar in the way). Drinks were reasonably priced, staff were friendly and helpful and it was quite an intimate venue. I would definitely go there again (and I’m a hard to please gobshite so it really does come highly recommended!)

We visited the recently renovated centre, located at the University of Sussex, to see Raising Lazarus performed by Kat Francois as part of the Brighton Festival; a truly superb performance. The building is modern, with sweeping curved walls - light and airy - this plus the use of warm colours make it a very inviting space as you arrive (grade II listed, originally designed by Sir Basil Spence and opened in 1969 as the Gardner Arts Centre). A lovely modern aurditorium that is able to seat up to 350 people (480 standing). There is a cafe bar where you can get drinks and food (some sourced locally). The toilets were excellent too. Parking only a short distance away and free in the evenings. Can't fault this venue and look forward to returning.
