Beautiful old buildings and you can wander at the exhibitions - make sure you check out both buildings (they sit across the road from one another and are named ‘One’ and ‘Two’ ). There’s a lovely outdoor cafe at One if the weather is in your favour. A great spot to shelter if it’s raining.

Great for fish and chips and a beautiful sunset. I recommend booking a table early in the day if you want to try this place. If no availability there’s lots of benches / rocks where you can and watch the sun go down. The lighthouse at Newhaven Harbour has recently been restored.
