Glyndebourne Opera
In the world of opera, Glyndebourne is unique; it is globally recognised as one of the great opera houses. It stands next to the country home of John Christie, who founded it in 1934. Now run by his grandson, Gus, it is still very much a family concern. Its Festival audiences arrive from far and wide and an extended interval gives them time for an evening meal. Many choose to picnic in the garden. Some sprawl on rugs, others bring tables, candlesticks and ice buckets. Almost all wear evening dress..

Alfriston
This picturesque village is well worth a visit either by car or by walking there via the South Downs Way. Great for a cream tea and a visit to Alfriston Clergy House, the first property purchased by the National Trust. It is timber-framed, with traditional thatch and a beautiful cottage garden.
