Hit The Skate Farm

If you want an indoor activity that ticks every box, come skate with us in Haywards Heath. The Skate Farm is perfect for all ages and abilities. From toddlers finding their balance to parents joining in, it’s active, social and guaranteed smiles all round.

You can book family sessions, beginner lessons or just roll up for an open skate. It’s safe, dry and full of good vibes – the perfect cure for cabin fever.

Explore local museums

Sussex has some brilliant indoor museums that make learning fun. The Science Museum in Brighton, the Amberley Museum, and the Weald & Downland Living Museum all offer hands-on exhibits for curious minds. Kids can explore, touch and ask questions while staying warm and dry.

Get creative together

Arts and crafts studios are great for keeping little hands busy. Try Dirty Hands Studio in Burgess Hill or Made and Making in Hassocks for pottery, painting or DIY craft sessions. You’ll leave with something colourful to take home and a few messy memories too.

Visit an indoor trampoline park

When the weather’s grim, a trampoline park is a guaranteed energy-burner. Jumpin Fun in Burgess Hill and Flip Out in Chichester both have family-friendly areas and café spots where parents can chill while the kids bounce.

Go swimming or climbing

Local leisure centres like The Triangle in Burgess Hill or K2 Crawley offer pools, soft play zones and climbing walls. They’re great all-weather escapes when you need to get out of the house but stay active.

Wrap up

Rain or shine, Sussex has loads to offer families who love to move, play and explore. And if you’re looking for somewhere new to ride, come join us at The Skate Farm – where the weather never stops the fun.
