Location and Directions
We are proud to be hosting this special event at the heart of Falmer, a beautfiful village 3 miles outside Brighton.
During the summer months there will be the option to be outside amongst a lovely duck pond.
It's very easy to get to by car or bus from Brighton - the University bus No.25 goes to Falmer and is very regular. Falmer train station is close by too. Falmer itself is located off the A27 coming from either Eastbourne or the A23/M23 south (if travelling from London). Simply exit on the B2123 and take the second exit if coming from the A23 and the first exit if coming from Eastbourne direction.
Then it is the first left opposite the University entrance (also the new build football stadium). Simply drive until you see Falmer Village Hall on the right.
April's Event and the Forum
April's event will be on Sunday 4th April (Easter Sunday) at the same time and place. We also have an online forum where you can chat with other members in the group.
