6 Best Activities In Bexhill

Six entries, dividing simply. Egerton Park and Broad Oak Park are the open-air pair, both parks and playgrounds, needing no planning and suiting a wide range of ages. Bexhill Museum is the cultural stop under cover. Jumbos deals with indoor play for younger children. Two further entries handle swimming. That is the whole picture, and for one afternoon it is genuinely enough.

Two names handle it: Bexhill Leisure Centre and Bexhill Leisure Pool, both indoors. They run the usual mix of lane swimming and family sessions, but their timetables differ, and public sessions usually occupy part of the week rather than all of it, squeezed around clubs and lessons. Look the current times up on the day itself.

Better than the two-parks summary makes it sound. Four entries have a roof over them: a museum, an indoor play centre and two swimming venues. None of the four will absorb six hours on its own, which is why a wet day here works best as a pair of shorter stops with something to eat wedged in the middle rather than one long visit.
