Head spas in Sussex.

Sussex's listings split between Hove, effectively joined to Brighton along the coast, and Lewes, the county town further inland, each currently down for a single venue. Brighton's own much livelier scene sits just next door to Hove, which is worth checking too even though it falls outside this county's own listings.

Neither Hove nor Lewes has grown beyond a single venue yet, and the two towns have quite different characters — one a seaside resort, the other a historic market town with a steep, cobbled high street. The county's annual bonfire celebrations draw crowds into Lewes each November, quite separate from anything to do with Hove's own visitor numbers or either town's head spa listing.

Hove and Lewes sit around eight miles apart along the A27, close enough that a short drive separates the two if one listing doesn't have availability when you need it. Eastbourne, further along the coast, doesn't have a listing of its own here either.
