'Your Big Sussex Week' Offers Great Savings This Week for Local Residents
16 June 2008
This week Sussex hosts the best event of the year for residents living in the county. ‘Your Big Sussex Week’ is back and it’s better than before! It takes place from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 June and offers some great savings to encourage people to visit and discover some of the great range of attractions, restaurants, places to stay and things to do in their local area. Just check out the Big Sussex website, print out your referred vouchers, or visit Horsham Tourist Information Centre who can print them out for you.
Residents from across East and West Sussex can discover new attractions and revisit old favourites. As well as attractions, this year’s event is expanding to include special offers and discounts available at local cafés, pubs and restaurants and on accommodation.
With over 100 businesses involved in the event, it promises to be a week of discovery, activity and fun from wildlife to gardens, stately homes to fun fairs, local produce menus to mid-week breaks. There really is something for everyone to enjoy.
Big Sussex Week – a Sussex Tourism Partnership initiative – promotes sustainability by encouraging residents to cut down on their travel and stay local. People will also be able to cut down on their spending too as attractions, eateries and accommodation will be offering discounts off entry prices, menus and booking fees.
Nick Head, chairman of the Sussex Tourism Partnership, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer the people of Sussex these discounted rates at so many attractions, restaurants, pubs and accommodation venues. We feel that ‘Big Sussex Week’ really gives something back to the people who live in this amazing county, it is also a great way for tourism businesses to say thank you to the residents for the warm welcome they provide to visitors.
“We encourage people to get out and about and show their support for ‘Big Sussex Week’. Go and discover the rich heritage, colour and entertainment your county has to offer you, while taking advantage of the wonderful reduced rates!”
