insideSUSSEX Magazine Issue 09 - November 2015 | Page 8

welcome Christmas in November – love it or hate it? There are those who will listen to Christmas music as early as possible (is September too early?), and those who despise it up until mid-December. Over here at insideSUSSEX, we start getting into the Christmas spirit around August, so by the time November and December come around, we’re more than ready for everyone else to join in the festivities. Ready or not, Christmas is well and truly here, and Sussex will be celebrating in style. From Christmas events (p23) to Christmas drinks and tipples (p29), get out your diaries and start making plans; after all, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! If you need some prompting to get into the festive spirit, we’ve teamed up with Hayes Garden World to give away a glittering 7-ft pre-lit Christmas tree – have a look on page 34 for details. You also have a chance to win tickets to Holiday on Ice: PASSION at The Brighton Centre. Head on over to page 27 to find out more. Not quite ready for Christmas? Don’t worry, we have you covered. Check out page 39 for our review of Market restaurant in Brighton, or read all about the spectacular new Bentley Bentayga on page 82.
