Sussex Support Service Ltd

Sussex Support Service Ltd is a sports venue near Lewes that caters mainly to local athletes and community groups rather than casual day-trippers. It's the sort of place you'd head to if you're actively involved in a sport or looking for proper training facilities, not somewhere to wander in off the street expecting a spectacle.

The venue hosts various sports activities and training programmes throughout the week. It's functional rather than flashy - you'll find serious athletes getting their work done here, not tourists snapping photos. If you're staying at The Secret Campsite or Dernwood Farm Glamping nearby, and someone in your group is keen on sports training or coaching, it's worth checking what's on during your visit.

Before turning up, ring ahead or check their website first. Opening hours and whether you can access facilities as a casual visitor aren't straightforward, and admission charges vary depending on what's running. It's definitely not a drop-in attraction like a leisure centre with public swim times or open courts.

For families on a park holiday in the area, this works only if your plans actually involve organised sports. The Downland countryside around Lewes offers far more for general holiday-makers - walks, views, and villages are what draw most people to stay in this corner of Sussex. If sport's your thing though, and you need proper facilities while camping nearby, it's worth investigating what's available.
