Enjoy a few relaxing days in the Rye Bay area. We have gathered a few ideas to help you. Depending on the ages of those travelling with you, energy levels and the amount of time you have Rye has something for everyone.
Christmas in Rye is always magical this year the team who arrange everything have started early so a good time with an attractive town is assured. Winter is is always lovely to see the range of small independent shop keepers all offering something different from the clinical shopping malls. https://www.christmasinrye.co.uk/
Whilst being picturesque Rye is amazingly pretty often winning awards as being a top “Must see” destination when visiting the UK. There is far too much to do in just one day, for this reason we suggest three to five days if visiting East Sussex from overseas.
For the young, the “young at heart” and the mature classics, Rye Bay spans the generations. There is so much to see and do and we are constantly updating the site and welcome any suggestions you may have.
The team who organise the amazing Rye International Jazz and blues festival often have gigs in Rye so its well worth popping over to their website for an update of Rye Jazz Events and festivals see https://ryejazz.com/
