Pebblerush

Pebblerush is a gallery tucked into the Sussex coast near Bexhill-on-Sea, and if you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks - Park Holidays UK is barely a mile and a half away - it makes for an easy afternoon out. The gallery itself focuses on contemporary work, so you're looking at rotating exhibitions rather than a permanent collection gathering dust. Some visits will be brilliant, others less so, depending on what's on. It's the sort of place that works well if you're already in the area rather than a reason to make a special trip on its own.

The space is intimate, not cavernous. You'll spend thirty minutes to an hour here, depending on how much the current show grabs you. Art types will appreciate the curatorial approach, though families with restless kids might find it all winds up too quickly. The real draw is that it's walkable from Combe Haven Holiday Park and the other caravan sites dotted along the coast - useful if the weather turns iffy and you want an indoor activity that isn't a seaside arcade.

Bexhill itself sits on that stretch of coastline between Hastings and Eastbourne, so Pebblerush fits naturally into a broader coastal meander. Check opening hours before you visit - like many independent galleries, it keeps variable times. Free admission would be typical for a contemporary space this size, though it's worth confirming. Worth a look if you're passing through, but don't build a day around it.
