A Sussex Christmas
A Sussex Christmas
Christmas time in Sussex is cheerful and cozy. Sussex offers up small town charm with family friendly Christmas events and attractions and Christmas markets. Some attractions that are open year round also lend themselves well to the holiday season, or make for perfect gift vouchers.1. Family Activities The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in Chichester offers an 'old timey' Christmas for the entire family's enjoyment. Take a walk through time on the streets of the Christmas village. Attractions include houses and decorations from Tudor through Victorian times, as well as traditional Christmas food and drink, music, and storytelling. Wilderness Farm in East Sussex lets you and your family choose and cut your own Christmas tree. They also sell pre-cut trees, along with wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. The Royal Pavilion Christmas Ice Rink in Brighton offers outdoor fun for the whole family, plus a warming restaurant right next to the rink. Extras include a beginners' area and skate aids for young children. The rink has hours into the evening--the backdrop of the Royal Palace is especially lovely at night. Father Christmas trips are available on the Chichester Ship Canal. The hour long ride includes meeting Father Christmas and holiday food and drink.
2. Christmas Markets and shopping The Rye Farmers' Market becomes particularly festive for the holiday season, and provides a great variety of local drinks, food, and craft products. The Shoreham Christmas Food and Drink Festival combines with the Shoreham Farmers' Market for an excellent range of both local and regional offerings. There are stalls selling food and drink as well as arts and crafts and charity fundraising goods. Besides Christmas trees, Wilderness Farm also offers Christmas shopping at the Barn. On offer are many gifts and decorations, as well as coffee and cakes. Brighton dresses up its famous shopping areas for the holiday season. You are sure to find every gift you need among the large selection of shops.
3. Other Sussex activities and gift ideas Hot air balloon rides are available in both West and East Sussex. A unique activity year round, they are also perfect as a surprise gift to be used at any time of the year. Free guided walks are offered in Littlehampton by the sea throughout the year. Great if you fancy taking in some picturesque winter scenery. Littlehampton and Brighton both have a selection of luxurious spas and hotels; a spa visit is a thoughtful gift that will be fully appreciated. Alternatively, indulge in an extravagant holiday vacation.With all this to do, there are few better places for Christmas than Sussex!
