Hi, me and my partner are going to Balcombe (crawley) for a week in couple weeks time, and wondered if anyone knew of any cheap days out or things to do in Sussex?

Any ideas greatly recieved!

Yep their first gig was in a pub called The Rocket but I believe it's changed it's name now. It's by the train station. Their next gig was in the band stand in the town centre. Robert Smith was educated at a school in Crawley, I think it was called the St Wilfrid's Comprehensive School. Every year on Robert Smith's birthday (21st April) a group of about 300 Cure fans have a convention in Crawley.
