Half Term Events in East Sussex

View of Bodiam Castle from afar

I’m really looking forward to having the kids at home for half term because here in Sussex we’re spoilt for choice of things to do! The National Trust always comes up trumps, with Bodiam Castle celebrating Halloween with a Dragon Quest and craft activities, followed by a Crones Corner. The crazy Crones will be back with their amazing potions and lotions and you can listen to their stories or watch them brewing up their concoctions, but they say don’t be taken in by their charms……The fantastic Rare Breeds Centre at Woodchurch has loads to offer, with a ghost hunt around the farm; ‘Scare Glow’ a unique UV experience; Vunderbar the Wizard telling scary tales and singing spooky songs; and to top it all some ghoulish face painting. Drusillas Park, widely regarded as the best small zoo in the UK, is also celebrating Halloween with spooky happenings in Haunted Heights, Mummy Mayhem and creepy crawly encounters.

But then once you’ve exhausted the Halloween theme, there is nothing better than enjoying the truly beautiful Sussex countryside and kicking the Autumn leaves with a walk with the kids in Bedgebury Pinetum. The free woodland playtrail and Gruffalo trail will keep them entertained for hours and ensure they sleep well at night! There is also a top class mountain bike trail and Go Ape (an adventure course up in the trees) for children from the age of 4. To top it all the café sells amazing homemade cake! A bracing walk along the seafront under the white cliffs from Rottingdean to Brighton Marina and back (after lunch at the marina of course) is always a favourite. There’s loads of room for the children to scooter or bike which makes it so much more fun!​
