It's a beautiful day in
Eastbourne today and we hope to see the sun everyday. However, we do know that sometimes the sun can be a little shy and so he sends his friend, Rain Cloud out to greet people instead.
Rain Cloud isn't quite as friendly as Sun, so we've put together some great ways to escape him during his visits to
Eastbourne this school holiday!
Summerdown Camp is a very fascinating exhibition currently on display at the
Pavilion Tea Rooms on Royal Parade. Summerdown Camp was the largest WW1 convalescent camp of its kind, when it opened in Eastbourne one hundred years ago. The exhibition uncovers what life was like for the thousands of soldiers who recovered at the camp, and also for the women who took care of them and nursed them back to health. The exhibition is free, and children with a thirst for history will love it! Why not try a delicious cream tea whilst there?!
The
Observatory Science Centre in Herstmonceux has some really fun and interesting workshops this Summer, to keep children's brains ticking whilst away from school. 'Colour Kaleidoscope' on 4 August, 'Captivating Chemistry' on 13 August and 'Be an Astronaut' on 18 August, are just a few of the many great workshops to chose from. Be quick though, they do book up fast!
The
David Lloyd Leisure Centre in Eastbourne, is home to Lloyds Lanes; the prefect place for a game or two of tenpin bowling on a rainy day! It's very child friendly too, with bumpers to put up on the lanes for those that need a little help, as well as Laser Quest, pool tables and lots more entertainment and games!
Newly refurbished and re-opened
Fort Fun on Eastbourne's seafront has a fabulous
Indoor Soft Play, with ropes, swings, tunnels, slides, a designated toddler area and lots, lots more. So, when Rain Cloud comes to visit, head to Fort Fun for an afternoon of super fun soft play!
When it's not quite the weather to take a dip in the sea, one of Eastbourne's large leisure centres, the
Sovereign Centre will help in keeping the children active and having a whale of a time for hours! With a fun pool complete with water flumes, a baby pool for the really little ones, a bubble pool and lots more, the Sovereign Centre makes for a great value family day out!
When
Annie comes to the
Congress Theatre from 10-15 August, it's the perfect time to introduce the kids to the most famous and lovable orphan from 1930's New York! With two matinee shows, on 13 and 15 August, the theatre is a great place to entertain children if Rain Cloud decides to come out to play. Children will love the classic songs from the show, 'It's a Hard-Knock Life', 'Tomorrow' and 'You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile', plus many more!
