O’Sullivan's Snooker & Pool Club

Pool and snooker clubs aren't typically what brings people to the Sussex coast, but O'Sullivan's in Bexhill-on-Sea is worth knowing about if you're staying in one of the nearby holiday parks and the weather turns grim. It's a straightforward sports venue where you can hire a table, chalk a cue and settle in for a few frames without any pretension. The place does exactly what it says on the tin - tables in decent condition, reasonable rates, and enough of a local crowd that it doesn't feel sterile.

This works best for adults looking for an evening activity or families with teenagers who fancy something different. If you've got young kids expecting arcade games and neon lights, they'll be disappointed. Fair warning: the opening hours are a bit odd - open from mid-afternoon most days but with some very late slots available if you're the nocturnal type.

If you're based at Park Holidays UK or Combe Haven Holiday Park, it's barely a short drive away, making it genuinely handy for a rainy afternoon. Alternatively, pop into Bexhill town centre first for food or a walk along the seafront, then come here for a competitive few hours. The club runs on a casual walk-in basis, so no need to book ahead. Worth the detour on a damp Tuesday? Probably not specifically, but if you're already in the area and fancy something to do beyond the caravan parks, it's a solid option that beats another afternoon at the amusement arcade.
