Sussex: London's Extraordinary Neighbour
Sussex is as vibrant and varied as the people who call it home. A sanctuary for the free-spirited and free-thinkers; a haven for artists, writers and rebels. Here, everyone’s greeted with open arms – whoever you are, wherever you’re visiting from.
From our countryside to our coastal towns and cities. From our cultural scene to our culinary delights. A trip to Sussex will nourish your mind, body and soul – whether you have an appetite for adventure or a thirst for a quieter life.
And with iconic events throughout the year and world-beating wineries to explore, you can rest assured that one trip is never enough. So don’t be a stranger. We’re less than an hour from London, waiting to welcome you.
