For the art lovers
Visit East Beach, the artist quarter of Worthing, and tour the parade of artist’s studios to find a unique gift for your friends and family. You’ll find a variety of artisan creations from paintings, sculptures and drawings to jewellery, ceramics and clothing you won’t find anywhere else! If art gallery exploration is up your street, why not check out Rowlands Road too, for several galleries and antique boutiques.
Take a trip to the village of Cuckfield and browse some of the quirky independent boutiques. You’ll find the perfect gift for the interiors aficionado in your life with unique homewares from Willis & Co. and Tigers to Lilies.
For the foodies
West Sussex is home to the world-renowned Nyetimber. With some of England’s finest sparkling wines available, their carefully curated collections are perfect for any occasion. Stop in at The Queens Head for craft ales and a menu bursting with hearty homemade dishes.
If you’re planning on visiting Horsham this festive season, a trip to the market town simply cannot be complete without visiting the Horsham Museum or a local farm shop to take home a little bit of the town’s history with its award-winning gingerbread. Almost a century after the original recipe was lost, friends of the museum painstakingly restored it to keep the centuries-old tradition alive – this is a gift not to be missed.
