Unique things to do in West Sussex

Looking for an exciting adventure to start your day in Brighton? Look no further than an "electric" mountain bike ride along the breathtaking Brighton coastline. Whether you prefer an early morning, afternoon, or evening ride, this experience promises to be unforgettable. As you set out on your journey, feel free to ask your knowledgeable guide any questions about Brighton and its surrounding areas to ensure you get the most out of your visit. If you prefer to go at your own pace, your guide can show you where to go and provide a short guided route to the seafront before giving you the freedom to explore on your own. Before hitting the road, make sure to choose the correct bike size and helmet, and take a quick test ride to build confidence. Once you're ready to go, the adventure truly begins as you head to the Brighton seafront and ride along to Rottingdean, passing by iconic landmarks like the British Airways i360 tower and famous piers. If you're new to biking or prefer a smoother ride, the Undercliffs trails offer a perfect option. Once you arrive in Rottingdean, you can either ride back to the Marina along the top of the cliffs on the dedicated bike path or take the off-road coastal trail for a more adventurous experience. Whichever route you choose, the stunning view of the Sussex coastline from the cliff top is not to be missed.

Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) is a traditional Japanese awareness meditation, proven to be a profound antidote to anxiety, depression, fear and tension. You will be taken upon a simple forest walk, whereupon your guide, Helena, will facilitate and enable a sensual immersive experience, whereby the forest languages of renewal, growth, change and impermanence will become your experiential second nature. You will develop a sense of inner peace and stillness that will be supported and encouraged by nature's living, ever-changing process. Absolutely no experience necessary. The requirements are a willingness to let go of your troubles, fears, worries and anxieties. Other things to note Wear warmer clothes than usual as we will spend time being still in the woods and in the shade of the forest canopy. You may also wish to bring something to sit on during sit spot practice. Great for groups and team building too. (I also work with Forest Garden, Shovelstrode that is located 4 miles from the location of this Forest Bathing experience.

Bees Naturally Spend a morning in a cottage garden on the South Downs learning about bees. Natural beekeeping is a bee centred approach with minimal intervention. My bees build their own comb and survive without chemical treatments or additional feeding. The bees live in Warré hives surrounded by cottage garden plants. I do take small amounts of honey but only after checking that the bees have sufficient stores for themselves. Visitors will be able to taste the raw untreated honey. During the session we will explore the life of the honey bee and how you can support their survival. We will spend time observing the bees as they go about their lives and will also look for other species of wild bee in the garden. The garden features bee friendly plants that are suitable for almost every situation . Visitors will be able to look at the construction of the hive and how the bees use it. Please note we will not be opening up the hive and I do not have honey for sale. Visitors should avoid wearing strong perfume or very dark clothing (bees equate black with bears!)

Firstly the students choose a painting from my collection (everyone paints the same ) After my initial introduction, we have a practice on an old canvas, when I show you how to use the brushes to create the painting, to get familiar with the materials.

I will give everyone all the time needed to produce a painting that will astound yourself and your friends. I can teach anyone to paint. Even if you've only ever painted doors and skirting boards before. The Bob Ross method of painting is simple to understand and the first time you do it, you can get a fantastic result. I supply all the materials needed including plastic aprons, tea and coffees and gentle music! It's a very relaxed atmosphere of having fun while learning to paint. The time limit is not strict as some people need more time, which is no problem, as I believe that this is your day, and if that means more time, its OK with me PLEASE BE AWARE, I will take everyones temperature with my new infra red thermometer.
