The country house of Glyndebourne annually hosts the prestigious Glyndebourne Festival, featuring six productions in a 1200-seat opera house. The venue boasts lovely surroundings and a helpful and friendly parking/welcome staff. The restaurant provides excellent meals, but some visitors have noted a lack of attention to detail, such as not being offered drinks upon seating and cold coffee after dinner.
Beautiful inside and out! Saw Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and the whole experience was phenomenal. Wonderful orchestra, warm atmosphere. It's so good experiencing live music again ❤️

Had a fantastic first visit. Watched a festive concert. Only paid a tenner for a standing place ticket in the upper circle. It was perfectly fine. There’s a narrow bench type thing you can perch on. It’s a great view, high up. The mulled wine was lovely. An entertaining day, highly recommended.

Lovely surroundings helpful and friendly parking/welcome staff.
Restaurant: excellent meal but overall experience was a let down because of the lack of attention to detail - we weren't offered drinks after being seated and had to ask the person who brought our meal some 15 minutes later! After dinner coffee was cold. Warm bread would also have been nice.
The opera was most enjoyable.

It was an experience, from the grounds, to the picnic and obviously the opera house. It was a mixed type of audience, different ages groups of friends and colleagues. Nice relaxed atmosphere. The performance was good, a slow start but warmed up with the character of Iris. Overall pick an opera you know and would enjoy and go with people you like to relax with as the intervals (yes more than one for us) are at least an hour long to allow for snacks, champagne and strawberries 🍓 😀

Went to see La Boheme here in October. Lovely auditorium and great performance. Every care taken to make it a premium experience, which is fair enough, given the ticket prices! The gardens were lovely and I would have liked longer to look around. There were marquees available to picnic indoors as well as outside. Plenty of parking as well.

Went to the open Garden event. Beautiful countryside and gardens. Unfortunately, the weather was against us for a picnic, so we thought we'd go for a cream tea, but so did everyone else and they closed the kitchen. Definitely want to return in September for the next open garden.
The auditorium was also open. The sound gave me goosebumps. Need to save up to buy a pair of tickets for the opera. Must absolutely blow your mind hearing it there.

A wonderful experience right through from the venue, performance, food and service. Excellently run event. Dining options range from taking your own picnic, large groups seemed to go for this option, collecting a ready prepared picnic at the venue or restaurant dining options. Ample facilities so no queuing at the bars or elsewhere. Beautiful gardens to meander through and an excuse, if you need one, to dress up!

Glyndebourne is a well established part of the English summer season. The opera festival started in 1934 and has developed into a slick cultural event. Very well organised with lots of "picnic" options. Worth getting there early for the best spots in the garden if you're bringing your own.
The theatre is modern air-conditioned and has generous seating. Fantastic experience even if your not an opera buff.
David Oxenham — Google review
Great place, gardens, buildings and service. But unfortunately my box to see Don Giovanni (box 15) did not have "restricted views" there were no views... Because the stairs move all the action to the other side of the theater.

A quintessentially English opera experience. Superb opera productions with brilliant performers, outstanding sets and costumes. Add to that the setting of Sir Christie's estate in the middle of the English countryside which plays host to the traditional 90 minute intervals picnic. Who could wish for more?
Lewes Castle & Museum is a 16th-century timber-framed house that showcases local history exhibits and hosts events and weddings. Although it's not an actual castle, the remains and grounds are impressive, with visitor information panels that could use some refreshing. The spiral stairs are narrow but manageable, offering great views in all directions from the top. The gardens are beautiful, with plenty of benches for visitors to enjoy.
Lovely place to visit. The view is amazing. Lewes is fantastic. A lot of restaurants and coffee shops. Bakeries. Nice food and nice people. I recommend visit Alfriston Village.

Would recommend visiting, great view from the top and some signs giving informative information. Great little museum, very interesting visit. Be careful going up the tower, although they have added wood to make the steps level on the spiral staircase, they are very narrow so if you have massive feet or vertigo be very careful!

While only a relatively small castle and grounds, it is a very interesting and informative place. The team in the Museum where welcoming and friendly. Stunning views in all directions. Great picnic area that is set out with toys for the kids when the weather is fine. We did the Dragon Egg hunt (Easter Sunday) which the kids thoroughly enjoyed.

Lindsey Boyd — Google review
The views, the views! You can see why the Norman's built a castle here, so high up and with stunning vistas when you get to the top. Be aware that the spiral staircases are narrow and steep, medieval masons didn't go in for roominess. But take heart, there is also a decent sized garden with a central tree half way up which you can rest a while and contemplate.
Col TheIronMan — Google review
Great little museum with archaeological finds from the Palaeolithic to medieval times. A short film on the history of Lewes with insight on some of the unique festivals. The castle is a hike up the motte and a climb up the tower as well as the gatehouse, so not brilliant if you have bad knees and hips. The views are amazing, so totally worth it.
Phil Stevens — Google review
Interesting place to visit and read about. Really castle remains and grounds rather than an actual castle. Some of the visitor information panels had seen better days but it looked like these could be replaced soon. Not too strenuous to walk up, though the spiral stairs are obviously narrow and take some careful manoeuvring. With great views in all directions, it's obvious why the castle was built here.

It is actually a part of what used to be Lewes Castle, at least that what I gathered from all the descriptions and model of the castle. Despite this it has all the necessary features of a castle. I loved the gate and the keep. These still show a typical castle should have. In addition, one can enjoy the whole country side from top of this. The museum is small but rich. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Just to let everyone know, you have to climb up the stairs all the way tothe top. I didn't see any accessible way.

Lewes Castle set in a beautiful period area, with outstanding views from the Castle towers. Access climb to towers via wide steps, with seating along the way. The views are stunning from the towers with maps to distant view points. The photographs hopefully show the beauty seen from various points of the towers. Very interesting place to visit. Lots of small car parks dotted close to and around the main centre. North Street Car Park, £2.00 all day! Side streets and period shops add to the feel of the visit, mixed with shops and a brewery, Harvey's.

Well worth visiting if you're in town - some very interesting history, and awesome views from the top. At the top there is a lovely peaceful garden with benches and spectacular view over Lewes and the surrounding countryside.
This place is seriously a beautiful and peaceful, perfect for morning or evening stroll. There are plenty of beautiful and different kinds of flowers to soothe your eyes and soul. I hardly hear any noise and disturbance, one can do yoga and meditate over here. It's quite close to train station and bus station as well. I have been there many time and always enjoyed my walk to the beautiful Serene enchanting place.

Beautiful, peaceful - I’m reluctant to post in order to keep the secret! There’s a little ice cream kiosk in the wall that also sells sandwiches and cake and drinks etc. Public toilets are manageable and it lends an air of restful tranquility just sitting and watching or walking round smelling the flowers. Not easy to fully access for mobility issues due to ancient steps and walkways.

The National Trust's Monk's House is a 16th-century country home of author Virginia Woolf, showcasing her personal belongings and artwork along with flower gardens. The property bears resemblance to Claude Monet's famous estate in Giverny on a smaller scale. Visitors can park nearby and explore the charming village, while also enjoying the knowledgeable room volunteers and taking a walk to the river. It is an incredibly fascinating historical museum worth visiting for its rich history and beautiful gardens.
Such a lovely find. Beautiful gardens and knowledgeable room volunteers. Would love to go back and Spey more time in this beautiful garden

It was my dream to visit this place and exceeded all of my expectations. The staff was kind, sympathetic, and well-informed. So much information to share about the house and such passion. 100% worthy and an unforgettable life experience. Also, the place is astonishing. The garden is well-preserved. It’s like a fairy tale.
Luz Rodriguez — Google review
Attention, you must pre book to visit Monk's House.
Monk's house is located in Rodmell (The Street) just outside of Lewes.
Carpark isn't very big and a little walk up to the house. Go to visitor reception on the left of the house before entering down the side gate. Members entry is free otherwise its £9.90 adults and £5.00 for children.
The House - 16th Century weatherboarded cottage inhabited by Leonard and the novelist Virginia Woolf. It's full of things to see in a small house, but do mind heads as it's got low door ways.
The ground has a nice garden and a large grass area to sit and enjoy the views. Nearby is St Peter's church can be seen from the garden.
James Yeung — Google review
We’d failed to buy an advance ticket but happily they were able to let up in. The house is delightful and we loved Leonard’s conservatory and the beautiful garden. The guides were all charming and keen to share the stories of the place. My personal favourite was Virginia’s writing room which is basically a shed at the end of the garden with her desk facing the open view to the Downs. It felt really special to see the view from her room. We loved our visit.

This is a, 16th century cottage where the famous English writer Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard Woolf lived from 1919. This cottage is undertaken by National Trust and they preserved the artifacts and household items used by the Woolfs. There is a beautiful garden located in front of the cottage with lots of plants , apple and pear trees. Really loved visiting this place.

Such a delight and so worth the visit. Cutest cottage and gorgeous gardens with views and atmosphere that make it an obvious choice for a writer to be inspired and produce great works. Plenty of information from the NT guides about Virginia Woolf and the history of the cottage and it's contents. Set next to a church in a sweet country lane with local pub nearby.

Virginia Woolf’s house and garden (with her writing shed) that is an absolute must to see. So much history, beautiful objects everywhere, the whole place reminiscent of Claude Monet’s famous property in Giverny, though on a much smaller scale. Parking close by, a small shop on the way and the whole village truly stunning. Apparently Virginia and Leonard called this place ‘a mutt that stole our hearts’ and you can see why when you’re there.

Really atmospheric, very interesting to see how quite affluent people lived (spoiler alert - very basic!) less than 100 years ago. As with Charleston, our visit was marred by one volunteer over-sharing information and not realising we just wanted to contemplate in peace. Will the NT for similar properties institute a "quiet time" policy a few times during the day?

Holiday home of Leonard and Virginia Wolfe. A hideaway that allowed Virginia to write away from everyone and everything. Sparsely furnished and all her books except a few have gone to the USA. Nice garden that is dog friendly. Toilet available and small carpark. Interesting

Visiting this place was one of the most enriching experiences in my life. Visits are pre-booked, which we weren’t aware of as we don’t usually have to check the fees beforehand (National Trust members get free admission). Thankfully, staff was accommodating and it so happened that they had free slots for that day. Everyone manning the site was incredibly warm and friendly. Volunteers really took their time to talk about each of the rooms and tell stories about it. Ask the guides about the green paint on the walls of the drawing room and they will tell a good story about it. What particularly struck me was Virginia Woolf’s bedroom, the portrait of her niece Angelica Garnett hanging on one of its walls and the story of her life, told by the lovely guide. The garden was a vision of beauty, especially on a sunny day.
Dee S — Google review
Despite its rustic nature, there is a certain elegance to this home. The walls are adorned with tasteful artwork and the occasional antique piece, while the soft glow of candles and gentle crackle of a fire in the hearth add a touch of romance and intimacy.
As I explored the home further, I was drawn to the quiet corners and intimate nooks that seem to be tucked away throughout. From the cozy window seat in the living room to the secluded reading loft above the kitchen, every space seems to have been designed with relaxation and contemplation in mind.
It is a reminder that, even amidst the chaos and busyness of the modern world, there is beauty and serenity to be found in the simple pleasures of life.
The Anne of Cleves House museum in Lewes, Sussex displays furnishings and other crafts from Henry VIII's fourth wife, including lovely examples of Tudor art. The property reopened to the public after two years' closure in 2016 and is well worth a visit for history buffs or anyone interested in Tudor architecture.
Husband and I were first visitors to this beautiful property after 2 years' closure. If you love Tudor history or architecture this is a must see in historic Lewes

So much more than you first think. Whilst she never lived there it was part of her divorce settlement, having been initially built as a house by a wealthy yeoman garnet.
The lower floors are well presented , with one room containing a tapestry but the jewel in the crown for me was the magnificent upper floor.
Definitely worth seeing.
Keith “Cito” Barry — Google review
A small house with only a few rooms, however some of the most amazing historically kept, beautiful examples of Tudor rooms I’ve ever seen, a dreamy way to spend an hour really taking in Anne of Cleves house. It’s truly magnificent you can almost see Anne coming down the corridor- small and mighty 10/10
Francesca Allen — Google review
For £6 per adult there isn't much to see. But combining with a visit to Lewes Castle (as suggested by staff) makes it better value and more interesting overall, which I'd recommend.

Visited the museum on a 'Tudor Tuesday' to watch the wonderful Gallyard Dancers performing in their authentic costumes. It's a beautiful period building with antique furniture, once belonging to the estate of Anne of Cleves. The lovely garden provided a welcome retreat in August & there is a small shop where I was pleased to find several biographies of Anne. Although there is no cafe within the museum, there is a small takeaway in the gardens of Southover Grange 5 minutes down the High Street. To make a day of it, I recommend buying the combined entrance ticket with Lewes Castle. The ruins of the Priory of St Pancras in Priory Park are also 10 minutes away and free to visit.
Janice Bonney — Google review
Yep, like a lot of others, we fell for the line and thought it was her house. She never set foot in the place, it was part of her divorce settlement. Would we have gone there if it was simply called a nice Tudor house and garden? Probably not, so some creative marketing fooled us to part with our cash, but like Anne of Cleves herself, we'll never visit the place again.

If you enjoy history, especially Tudor history, then this is a must visit property. Everyone sees differently so I cannot tell you all about it, only you can decide after a visit. It is not expensive and usually ample parking outside (Ringo app and payment, I paid £4 for three hours but only needed 2 hours). Check the visiting prices because you can get a deal to visit the castle as well.

Useful, interesting, and educational for young ones studying the Tudors at school. Good selection of hands on activities. Lots of good talking point items, though you the adult will need to know what to look for and do some wider reading first if history isn't your area.

Good pocket money things in gift shop.

Barely anyone there when we went so plenty of time and space. It's only small but for half price with English Heritage card it was well worth it. Loved the smell of the old wood throughout...in fact there was quite a lot of interesting smells. Learnt the origin of a few well known phrases, which I love. Had a laugh trying on the Tudor clothing. You can't go wrong with this place at this price really.

Amazing place to visit on the warmest summer days! Fresh cold water pool with a grass area to leave your things or sunbathe and a little shop to grab ice creams, sweets, coffee and more. Cheap entry and a great time to be had! This place is part of my childhood and remains brilliant. I would also recommend the evening slots for a quieter (though chillier) experience and swimming in the rain can be a lot of fun too!

I have never in my life encountered such a foul, callous and misogynistic business person as Alan at the flea market. I was selling a large quantity of furniture to Alan, as I am moving urgently, of which he was fully aware of, at a more than fair price. When he came to collect the items today, he was rude from the off; I asked him a simple question about one item I was considering removing from the inventory (worthless and dog chewed but very sentimental) at which point he immediately proclaimed the deal was off in. I have never seen the like when dealing with someone in a professional manner. I remained very calm and questioned his brashness, even stating he could keep the aforementioned item, and he proceeded to tell me that I was emotionally manipulating him and informed me that “this is not how business is conducted”. He rudely ordered his movers to return everything to my storage unit, and when I questioned the abruptness of this decision, one of his helpers unsympathetically said “Leave it, I know this guy and you’re just making it so much worse for yourself.” We had a written agreement and I couldn’t help but notice that when my boyfriend was with me at our initial viewing, he was much more civil. I am a young woman and felt unsafe at the level of anger he exhibited towards me.

We were in Sussex at the weekend and decided to visit Lewes on Saturday, however the first two car parks were full and the next two had no facility to pay by either card or cash! We therefore moved on and spent our time and our money in Seaford. Yet another example, Lewes, of blatant discrimination against those who either don’t have a smartphone or don’t want to use parking apps, all you need to do is replace your obsolete parking machines.

This is a pleasant park on the site of Lewes Priory; one of the places dismantled by Thomas Cromhall on the orders of Henry VIII during the Reformation.
There remains quite a large part of the ruins remaining of what was quite an extensivesite and guides have been installed to help get everything in perspective.
Not as complete as Lewes Castle but still worth the visit,

Down to earth, friendly and knowledgeable staff from Miles, his son, Robin and many others. A traditional local family brewery that arr a cornerstone of Lewes (Cliffe) high street.

Harveys, while they may brew a good pint, they have no idea about how to staff their pubs. The Landlord of The Dorset in Lewes is offensive to his customers both to their faces and via Twitter. He also discriminates against Vegans and anti hunt people.
The sign below was posted on the door of a Harveys pub yesterday.
So I say to the Management at Harveys, do you condone the behaviour if this individual? If not why does he still have a job? If you do...... shame on you!

Lewes is a great place to visit. The brewery has a large, high street shop selling excellent beer and other drinks.

Had a brewery tour here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Learning about Harvey's history and brewing process was fascinating.

Bought some Harvey's beer for my husband. He liked it so much, is going to order direct.
