More about Hove

East Sussex, England

Hove sits pretty on the coast and keeps its fingers firmly in the cake when it comes to local culture. The Foragers puts on some proper shows that make you forget about the sea breeze outside, while Cornerstone Community Centre runs workshops that keep hands busy and minds sharper than a new knife. The Neptune hosts gigs with enough energy to shake the sand out of your shoes, and the Watchmaker's Arms offers quiet evenings for those who prefer their entertainment without shouting. We gather all these spots into one place so you can plan your week without needing a map or a fortune teller.
