There is a thriving arts scene, and several festivals are held each year, including seafood and wine, Jack in the Green festival, the famous bonfire night parade and the annual Mayday motorbike ride, when thousands of bikes descend on the town.

Direct train links to Gatwick Airport and Central London, taking 1.5 hours to both.
