WELCOME

Feeling relaxed and refreshed after a day at the Harbour Spa ( p68 )
Last month , our focus fell on spring , and this month – great British weather permitting – it ’ s all about your swing . Sussex is packed with some really interesting golf courses , and gone are the stuffy stereotypes of the game ’ s past too . While nothing ’ s been taken away in terms of golf ’ s exceptionally well-kept greens , nowadays you ’ ll find clubhouses have been updated with great lounge facilities and membership schemes have been overhauled to suit everyone , from the occasional golfer , to those that would never miss a round on Sunday . Head to p30 for our eight-page guide .
Besides golf , of course we ’ ve been thinking about food . Easter is late this year , which allows us all access to some glorious seasonal produce . With the help of some top tips from Michelin-starred chef , Steve Smith , we ’ ve compiled an impressive four-course Easterinspired menu for you to cook at home from
p45 , and we ’ ve added a couple of cocktail recipes that celebrate the versatility of spirits too .
My continued health and wellness journey found me at the Brighton Harbour Hotel ’ s Harbour Spa recently ( p68 ) – a brand new underground Aladdin ’ s cave with all manner of pools and relaxation spaces , it ’ s a really fabulous addition to Sussex ’ s spa scene and one that I ’ d highly recommend you visit . And , once you ’ re feeling refreshed and ready to face the world again , check out our five packed pages of local events this month ( p16 ) and work out where you ’ re going to take the kids to scoff their bodyweight in Easter treats !
Happy Easter one and all ! Please follow us on Twitter (@ insideSUSSEXmag ) and let us know what you ’ re up to .
