More leisurely pursuits and clubs are held at the village hall, everything from amateur dramatics, to yoga or even the local history club. Nearby Lewes offers further options including golf, rugby, tennis, swimming, cycling and athletics to name a few.
The Anchor Inn and The Green Man public houses are popular choices within the village, with The Cock Inn located on the outskirts, with all three offering dining and traditional pub gardens to be enjoyed in fairer weather.
