Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Anne of Cleves House Museum in Lewes is a charming display of Tudor craftsmanship and history. The museum showcases furnished rooms, kitchen displays, furniture, and crafts from the time of Henry VIII's fourth wife. Situated in the picturesque town built into the slopes of the Ouse Valley, this museum offers a compelling look into vernacular Medieval architecture. Visitors can explore the legacy of Tudor craftsmanship while admiring the timber-framed Wealden hall house once owned by Anne of Cleves.
What a wonderful place. The house has been kept very much untouched for the most part. There is plenty to read and learn. The staff was very enthusiastic and pleasant. They did ask if I was interested in a combination ticket with Lewes Castle too. I had just been to Lewes Castle where they did not tell me about this option. The little tea room in the house too was lovely

Great museum that is really a preserved house of historic importance. Obviously run by volunteers who care for this house and have the passion and dedication to back it up! It was inexpensive to get in and definitely worth it. The place veritably reeks of history and each of the rooms tell their own story involved with the life and times of Anne of Cleves, who we learn, might not have been Henry VIII's type, but did survive her marriage and became a friend to the King later on in life! There is a cafe on site but it was shut on the day we visited. However, the helpful staff directed us to a nearby garden cafe where we could enjoy our tea and cakes in the sunshine and reflect on our visit to this most beautiful of 'semi-hidden' historical wonders. Worth a visit anytime.
This house is larger than you think from the front. Personally I thought the rear was more stunning. An incredible building with an interesting history.
22 people lived the house at one point although it was divided into three and had a shop!
The cafe has a lovely garden area to sit out. Delicious carrot and orange cake available today.
A fabulous tapestry is on display, it had a Japanese/Asian style.
It was free to enter today and I believe this to be the case this weekend!
We visited this with the Lewes Castle combo ticket.
Not a large site BUT very informative and well done. Recommended to include there is an adjacent cafe as well.
Well presented Tudor house, although I had not appreciated that Anne of Cleves hadn't actually lived in the house. Nonetheless, it was worth seeing, and the cafe was excellent.
A bit of a letdown. House has been cleared and doesn't show what it really would have looked like. The gardens are manicured and don't have any vegetables growing.
How this is supposed to represent where 22 people lived when Anne rented the place out, is beyond me.
Lovely building with very informative signage. The history of the house itself, its structural changes, ownership etc was very interesting. The garden is fairly small but had a beautiful grape vine, medlar tree and quince bushes. Relaxing atmosphere. Well worth a visit
You can see about 4 rooms of Anne of Cleves 15th century house (though note she probably never lived here). There are quite a few stairs, and it’s a bit of an odd layout. However, there are interesting items and signs about the house’s history, architectural style, and items from the time period.
Tickets: They offer a combined ticket with Lewes Castle, and if you gift aid your ticket it is good for the year.
Facilities: They have a small shop, clean toilets, and a cafe (though we did not visit these)

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Lewes Castle & Museum is a captivating 11th-century Norman fortress that invites visitors to explore its rich history and stunning architecture. Perched on a hill, the castle offers breathtaking panoramic views of East Sussex and the picturesque South Downs. As you ascend to the battlements, you'll encounter remnants from various eras, including the impressive 14th-century Barbican at the entrance.
There was more to Lewes Castle than I thought. you buy tickets in the museum and gift shop building , then a member of staff lets you into the castle it's self. There is quite a lot of stairs, so bare this in mind if you have mobility issues. once you've made the climb, there is a lot of information on the castles history. The view from the top is memorable.

I had no idea there was even a castle at Lewes!
Free to all today and I believe this weekend.
Magnificent views of Lewes today from the top of the castle.
The museum has a truly amazing model village where you watch a video about the history of Lewes. Somebody very talented put so much detail into it.
Well worth a visit.
One of the oldest castles in England.
🇬🇧 🏰
The castle was built soon after the Norman Conquest by William de Warren, one of William II the Conqueror's closest allies at the Battle of Hastings.👊
Begun around 1069, it is the second Norman castle in Sussex after Hastings Castle, chosen for its imposing ridge overlooking the River Ouse and the road to London.🙆♂️
Its twin hills and flint walls still dominate the landscape almost a thousand years later, a reminder of how quickly England has changed since 1066.🤷
Every time I visit a castle, I find it extremely interesting.🤌
The admission includes access to the gatehouse and stairs leading to the tower overlooking Lewes. The views from both are impressive!
The onsite museum though small has a short but informative video about the history of Lewes.
We booked with a combo ticket for the Anne of Cleves house, too.
My first visit to Lewes, ostensibly to visit the Anne of Cleves House, but there's a joint ticket available to also visit the castle and I'm glad we did. It was fascinating, well presented and the interpretive material was excellent. The views from the tower are well worth the climb, highly recommended.
Proud little castle on the high street bang in the middle of Lewes. Lots of signs with information and a great view all the way at the top. The museum has fun displays and a whole mini version of the town.
Really enjoyable place to visit. So much history to soak up. My only gripe is that, in my efforts to fully immerse myself in the period, wearing chainmail and full armour made the ascent to the top of the castle painstakingly slow. Why oh why when they built it didn't they have the forethought to put in either an escalator or starlift? Apart from this observation, it really was fantastic. The museum was child friendly so I learnt a lot.
Lovely place. Not much left to the castle but a supporting museum, with lots of info. about the castle and the town of Lewes. You can climb to the top of both mottes. Cracking views of Lewes and the South Downs from the top! Nice gardens, staff, and a good price. Upgrade to an annual pass when you use Gift Aid.

Lovely to swim in an outdoor pool. Unheated but all the better for it. We love a peaceful swim in the sunshine here
Sarah S — Google review
Had a great time, the pool was on the chilly side but you soon got used to it, on a really hot day a cold pool would be just what you need I'm sure
Food prices were good and lower than expected
Worked here with the LYT crew setting up a stage in the field adjacent to the pool. Had a chance to dip in the pool and it was just what I needed on a hot summers day! The pool is slightly heated so it didn’t feels too cold. Tea was only 1.50 which is a steal, if you’re looking for a place to cool down then stop by the Pool and you will not be disappointed :)
What a fabulous gem in Lewes. We went on a cloudy day so it was quiet but the staff were amazing and helpful, the facilities clean and tidy and the pool was lovely. Not heated as mentioned before but fine at this time of year if you're not a cold water aficionado.
Lovely outdoor lido. Unheated so only suitable for hardcore swimmers or sunny days. Great facilities except there really should be hot showers. Full of old school charm. Lots of sessions available to suit all types.
A lovely discovery on my recent Brompton bike adventure in the South Downs area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed my chilly swim and chill out after! Thanks.
A big well situated pool. A nice grassy area to sit in. Not too busy. Floats available. Nice staff. A toddler pool. Everything you need, including hot drinks available to warm you up.
Nice Lido with everything you'd expect. Looking a little worn around the edges. Could do with a new changing room facilities. But the pool surround and the grass area was pleasant enough.

Bakery
Cafe
Nestled just a short stroll up the hill from Montys Accommodation, Flint Owl Bakery is a delightful gem for anyone seeking fresh baked goods. This charming bakery has evolved from humble beginnings to become a beloved supplier of artisanal breads and pastries across Sussex and the South East. Visitors can indulge in an array of treats, including their renowned sourdough loaves, fluffy cinnamon buns, and an assortment of cakes and savory items like quiches and sausage rolls.
Beautiful bakery! The pork roll I got in here was delicious! As was the Brownie.
I bought a lovely Focaccia bread which smells amazing!!! 😍 It is divine!
Recommend paying this bakery a visit. Good food and drinks, excellent staff and not long waiting to be served either.

In times of Lewes having so many places to eat, it’s nice to find a place with excellent staff and a vast choice of food.
I’ve been using flint owl for the past year and have never felt more welcomed in a Lewes establishment. Always a lovely experience with a latte added for good measure 👍🏻
Brilliant bakery in Lewes. Great bread and sourdough looked good too (I run my own bakery in Edinburgh!).
Really delicious panini and I had a nice pot of loose leaf tea. Cakes and salads also looked delicious. We bought some organic veg from their farm for dinner. Pretty courtyard at the back where we sat in the sun. Friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend.
The loveliest cafe in Lewes, amazing coffee and extremely tasty food. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t reccomend enough, I always stop by here whenever I’m in town!
When you have seats in a cafe I expect coffee in a proper cup, not paper. Not even a plate for the croissant. Coffee overheated too, not the best! Table a bit sticky but it's open early.
Lovely. Spent half of the day there, with new friend’s (birds), amazing cakes and coffee.
This place is just brilliant. If you own this place, PLEASE don’t change it! Your staff are outstanding, the food is consistently delicious, and the busy atmosphere is just great. Lee
The best bakery in Lewes and always worth a visit. Great sourdough bread and baguettes, tasty cakes, salads and really good coffee. Dine in or takeaway you won't be disappointed and the staff are all excellent too.

Southover Grange Gardens is a serene and historic oasis located in Lewes, East Sussex. Established in 1542 by William Newton, this hidden gem boasts meticulously landscaped gardens, a 350-year-old mulberry tree, a walled garden, a stream, and a sculpture of Nicholas Yonge. Once visited by the Prince Regent in the 1790s for the Lewes Races, it offers visitors an escape from city life with its tranquil ambiance and rich history.
Lovely garden, we spent some time walking around here and taking photos. A lot of squirrels came up to us and were happy to pose for us. There were benches and places to do a little picnic as well, and we managed to pick up a Geocache!

The most peaceful park where one can enjoy a coffee and a pastry in a lovely green space. The flowers and the birds are gorgeous in this public garden.
Very enjoyable gardens to wander road. Well used, lots of groups of all ages picnicking. Ice cream from kiosk was very nice. There are toilets as well. Access from the gardens into Sussex Guild, there are some very beautiful items in there, jewellery, pottery, woodwork, cards and textiles etc.
It’s Great wandering round the gardens, a real hidden gem. It was packed full of spring colours today.
Attractive gardens with well maintained flowerbeds, ornate walls and a fast flowing waterway running through the centre during winter. Vibrant floral borders in the spring and summer months. Lovely spot for a short walk or to take a few minutes break from the bustle of town.
This place is seriously a beautiful and peaceful, perfect for morning or evening stroll. There are plenty of beautiful and different kinds of flowers to soothe your eyes and soul. I hardly hear any noise and disturbance, one can do yoga and meditate over here. It's quite close to train station and bus station as well. I have been there many time and always enjoyed my walk to the beautiful Serene enchanting place.
Lovely gardens, sculptures and events. However, the ice cream parlour closed, while still having a queue of customers on an event evening last Saturday, turning us all away, instead of serving the last few in the queue and then closing 😀
There is always something to see at Southover Grange Gardens from the gardens themselve wit colourful displays and the surrounding areas always kept tidy. Plenty of room for children to play and for picnics or food drink and ice cream from the kiosk. On the day I went we watched a wedding play out on the lawn in front.

British restaurant
Bill's Lewes Restaurant is a delightful spot that has become a beloved fixture in the town since its inception in 2001. Originally starting as a greengrocer by Bill Collinson, it has evolved into a charming café and delicatessen, offering an array of menus for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Known for its inviting atmosphere and rustic decor, this eatery serves up everything from brunch favorites to gourmet pizzas and delectable tartlets.
As a food critic, my visit to Bill's in Lewes, the very birthplace of this now-ubiquitous chain, was a delightful reminder of its enduring appeal. Nestled in this amazing town, the restaurant truly shines, offering a welcome respite with its vibrant, relaxed atmosphere.
From the moment we stepped in, the staff were exceptionally attentive, striking that perfect balance between professional service and genuine warmth. Our starter, a crispy calamari with a perfectly tangy aioli, set a promising tone. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the delicious burger. Cooked to perfection with a juicy patty, fresh accompaniments, and a soft, yielding bun, it was a testament to simple ingredients executed flawlessly.
Bill's Lewes demonstrates that even as a chain, it retains a charm and quality that makes it a highly enjoyable dining experience. A solid choice for a casual yet satisfying meal in a picturesque setting.

We were lovely served by Izzy and Dan. The hospitality is very good!
My meat was first overcooked but they offered me a new meal, which was perfectly cooked, and compensation. I enjoyed the rump steak very much!
The ambiance was so nice. We had a really nice talk about Lewes and so many other things.
A lovely place to be for a good meal and perfect service.
Exceptional service from Emma and team, we were a large group of 13 people celebrating 5 birthdays. We ordered from the large group set menu. Everything was delicious and arrived at the table in a timely manner. All additional requests were accommodated with ease and a smile. The restaurant is so pretty and cosy when it starts to get dark outside. Thank you for having us and helping us celebrate such a special evening
Jordan made our date breakfast much better by ensuring us hungry parents were full up on bottomless pancakes for the entire duration of a child free mornings. He made my husband 2 perfect cortados even though they weren’t on the menu. He was pleasant to chat to and confident when talking to us. Thanks Jordan and Bills for pancakes.
it was absolutely wonderful, the staff were welcoming and perfect, exactly what we’d expect from a restaurant like this. it was lovely to see management doing their part to serving the guests and making every part of the experience fantastic….we would 1000% come again
From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service was impeccable throughout our visit—friendly without being overbearing, and always on hand just when you needed them. It’s clear the team takes pride in creating a relaxed yet polished dining experience.
The food lived up to every expectation. Fresh, vibrant ingredients shine in every dish, from the beautifully presented starters to the generous mains. To top it all off, dessert was a true indulgence, a perfect end to the meal.
Everyone were very welcoming and the food was lovely. Teah was very lovely and put love into her job and made sure that she helped me with the menu and that everything was okay for us she checked on us and also made sure our little puppy was looked after. Will definitely come back again.
Bills is Bills...I don't expect the food to be exciting, but just solid and consistent.
However, this branch has very good service and atmosphere is buzzing, even on weekdays.

Thai restaurant
Nestled in the charming town of Lewes, Erawan stands out as a delightful gem for those craving authentic Thai cuisine. This restaurant has become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike, thanks to its diverse menu that tantalizes the taste buds with an array of flavors. The name "Erawan" pays homage to Airavata, an elephant symbol steeped in cultural significance within Thailand's rich history.
My husband and I recently visited Erawan for our anniversary dinner, and we were thoroughly impressed. Thai cuisine is our favorite, and we’ve dined at many Thai restaurants over the years, Erawan came very close to being our absolute favorite!
The food was absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was also excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome.
The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small and gets very busy, so it was quite loud, making it hard to have a proper conversation.
Despite that, we would definitely go back because the food alone is worth it! Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine.

Hidden gem in lewes, food came quick & service was great.
Everything was fantastic, the duck in particular was amazing. Will be back!
This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK!
My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we haven't found anywhere else except Thailand itself.
Its a BYOB, which we didn't mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasn't over the top by any means.
The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests.
If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so it's best to book in advance as there's no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.
Great authentic Thai food.
Lovely satay, so tender.
Massaman chicken spicey peanut flavour.
Helpful staff
Fast service.
Need to book. Bring own wine, small corkage charge, they provide gorgeous glasses. Optional chops.
Would definitely return as best Thai food i have had probably including many meals in Thailand and other Asian countries.
Tiny BYOB Thai restaurant with an amazing wood decor. The food was fantastic and the service was faultless. Great little atmosphere. I would book to ensure a table. Love it!
Me and my wife booked a table for dinner, both ordered a chicken massaman curry, one with sticky rice, the other with coconut rice. My wife is coeliac and they catered for her with no issues, she felt fine afterwards and the day after. Also bear in mind, they do only have benches, no chairs with backs, some benches are against walls though.
It was the best curry we've ever had, and we go to Thai restaurants everywhere we go, it was just incredible, we even ordered 2 more chicken massamans to take away for dinner the day after, if you're in Lewes and looking for somewhere to eat, eat here!
Lovely authentic Thai restaurant with fantastic food. BYO beer and wine with fair and reasonable corkage charge.
First trip for a few years. Great authentic food and helpful staff: it’s small of course so booking a must and no alcohol license but off license next door

Movie theater
Arts organization
Depot is a refurbished venue that showcases independent and foreign films, boasting a cafe, courtyard, and art gallery. It serves as a cultural and community hub, offering multiple cinema screens, live music performances, dining options, art exhibitions, and creative courses/workshops. This destination caters to families seeking a cultural day out or couples in search of an impressive date night.
I used to pass by here on the way to college way back in 2009-11. So, being informed there’s a cinema now I was imaging some tiny 1 screen establishment.
Yet to my amazement The Depot Cinema and Restaurant is quite the modern spacious marvel! Stopping by for food before sitting comfortably to watch Conclave may be one of my favourite movie going experiences so far. The food was great and service very attentive.
Seating in the cinema was cozy and felt like I was back home on my couch. I think The Depot is my favourite cinema now, the easy station parking for £2/day is also an absolute steal. Also, if driving is a chore you also have the train station a stone throw away. It’s hard not to recommend this one!
Rafee — Google review
Went here to watch one of the film that was on during the week (Urchin) and had a wonderful experience. Very smooth process from booking online, arriving and interacting with very friendly staff. Then the actual theatre.
Absolutely comfortable 10/10. Very clean environment; comfortable seating; and the sound system was perfect.
Literally had a better movie experience here than I did at a much larger operated cinema 2 days prior.
I really like The Depot. I love its "Indie" vibe and character. Outside seating, cafe, fab cinema spaces and relaxed seating. Four stars? It seems to take a lifetime to get a simple cafe latte. The latte is fine, but somehow the staff seem to always have more important things to do. Even when it's not busy. If it were a one-off, I'd let it go, but it's happened a number of times.
Lovely evening outside with live music, drink and food available. Saw a film but actually really disappointed with the film but nevertheless the venue is great. Oh, and comfy cinema seats, footstools in the front row and you can take your drink in with you.
Me and my best friend have come here every week for a year now and we have never have been disappointed. Staff are the best, always kind and helpful, absolute gems. Cake and coffee are immaculate as well as the food, such good quality and service. Amazing study environment outside and inside, we highly recommend the Depot and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thank you to the staff x
Excellent small cinema.
Always clean.
Good range of films.
Also has great food & drink but this area does get busy in the evenings & I don't believe you can book a table.
What a lovely venue and outside garden. 1st time experience. Love it here.We had a glass of wine as some had coffee. Very relaxing atmosphere with great vibes. Beautiful sunny day. Wish to sit in lovely garden but not windy.
They’re offering variety of food, wine, beer & tea, coffee. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Table service as well as help yourself. Toilets were clean.
It’s a very good meeting point. A beautiful gallery displaying beautiful artwork as well as a cinema for this lil town. Superb location just in front of Lewes train station. I'd definitely visit the Depot in Lewes again.
This is a great cinema for all. Good food in the restaurant, great cinemas although 3 is very small. Reasonably priced tickets. Lovely outdoor space. I highly recommend a visit.

Pub
The Lewes Arms is a historic pub located in the heart of Lewes, boasting over 220 years of charm and character. Situated just moments away from Lewes High Street and the town's Norman castle, this enduring establishment offers a warm and convivial atmosphere. With a well-stocked bar featuring an array of beverages, including real ales, wines, spirits, and soft drinks, visitors can also indulge in locally sourced handmade pizzas along with fries and sides.
One of the reasons that I love Lewes is this pub. A hidden gem. A CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular and Cask Marque pub. A few years ago we hiked over fron Eastbourne and my sore feet were soothed by a few pints here. ( oddly, there was a Morris Dancer festival going on, hard on feet and hard on ears!) Casta and Madge were enticed by the pizza menu (10£ - 15£). I however had a Gales brewery ( Fullers) 3.6% Seafarer. A super locals pub. No TV's.

The salon part we went in was very small but their are other areas within. Its a good local friendly bar clean pipes as the beer was tasty. Its around the back of the high street up the top end of Lewes. Has its own pizza place next door which is connected to the pub as the staff were wearing the pizza T-shirts. Didn't eat there so cannot comment on the pizzas quality.
Cosy pub located just off the main streets of Lewes. Staff is very friendly and attentive and the vibe is really nice. Sadly the roasts weren’t as great (small portions, high prices, gravy was watery, etc). But will give that the benefit of the doubt being unlucky 😊Side dishes (cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets) however were fantastic !
Lovely little Lewis pub with great selection of beer including Harvey's. Chilled vibe with bean bags out front. They do good pizza too apparently 👍🏻
Go there every few weeks to have what used to be brilliant pizzas but for the last three or four they have noticeable shrunk in size and have far fewer toppings. Soon I fear they will all turn into small bits of garlic bread costing £20 a pop.
A legendary local pub with a great selection of beers. The pizza is tasty and simple. A great spot to spend a few hours.
The food was so good and the cider too... Had the pork belly and the fish and chips. Was very happy when the food came out then he came back out with a Yorkshire...... Amazing. Fish and chips were very tasty and batter crunchy and delicious. I still can't orchard was available from the box and a couple of different bottles as well in the fridge lovely Easter Sunday.
Awesome pub, great pizza made in house and good beers on tap. Friendly staff. Whole place has a top vibe and character.
