In and around West Sussex

New for 2019 is a festive exhibition at Nymans of illustrations by Quentin Blake, with a chorus line of froggy sculptures in the garden. In the gallery, the festive fun continues with some seasonal pieces from Quentin’s illustrations for an edition of A Christmas Carol.

From Sat 23 Nov, we'll be welcoming you to a Beale family Christmas, with the Arts and Crafts house decorated for festive celebrations in the 1930s. See this year's Winter Tree designed by NEON and hear stories from Woodland Santa in his grotto. Enjoy extended twilight openings for a special view of the house after dark and Christmas shopping.

Need to blow the cobwebs away? From the views across the South Downs to the frosty trees and lakes at Petworth, there's lots of places to unwind on a winter's walk in Sussex.

From mystical castles, to magical fairy tales and scrumptious treats and eats, our places in and around East Sussex are ready and raring for Christmas this year.
