🏰 Lewes Castle, Lewes
Lewes Castle is hosting a Halloween adventure for all ages at the historic sites of Lewes Castle and Anne of Cleves House during October half term, from 26th–30th October. 🎃

Raystede is home to hundreds of rescue animals from across Sussex. With free guided tours from 11:30am every day, as well as a gift shop and onsite café, the whole family can enjoy a lovely day out in Ringmer. 🐶🐱
🏊 Pells Pool, Lewes
Pells Pool is Lewes’ very own outdoor, unheated, spring-fed swimming pool. With a 50-yard pool, deep and shallow ends, plus a separate babies’ and toddlers’ pool, there’s something for everyone. And now there’s even a sauna onsite! 🧡
So why not have a splash with the family before the pool closes for the season in mid-October?
