Day excursions

Firstly we spend time in the small market town of Arundel in the South Downs National Park in West Sussex. Arundel combines 1000 years of history with independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants, cafés and delightful drinking spots. Without a doubt, the most dominant structure is the impressive medieval castle which looms high on the hill above the town, there is plenty to discover in this fantastic castle.

We make our way to Portsmouth for the short Hovercraft crossing to Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Once there, you will find a great range of things to do in the largest town on the Isle of Wight. From its well established shopping streets to coastal amusements there is something for everyone.

Firstly we take a visit to Battle with a little time to explore. We then continue our journey to the very popular Star Inn for a hearty lunch. After lunch we travel the short distance to Bexhill-on-Sea with its modern vintage shops, quirky places for art & music, and independent cafés which defy traditional seaside stereotypes. A lovely peaceful resort to wander or relax in for a short while.

Why not join us for the Clacton Air Show to watch the thrilling flight displays in the skies over Clacton’s stunning seafront as well as a host of ground events on the West Greensward.

Join in the fun at the Broadstairs Folk Week. There will be live music, Morris dancing, a craft and music fair for you to browse, along with many more free attractions all in this popular seaside resort.
