Ask anybody in Sussex where they head to for a shopping spree and the answer is likely to be County Mall. This one-stop shopping hotspot is one of the biggest in Sussex with a huge range of retailers on board – more than 80 in total, housing over 200 brands.

It’s one to visit for your everyday essentials as well as bigger occasions. Perfect for the back to school shop – there’s even a Smiggle – blitzing Christmas, birthdays, updating your wardrobe or even just for a browse.

All your usual haunts are covered – think Next, Debenhams, Boots, Body Shop and so on – but there’s also a really nice mix of the quirkier shops too, like Yankee Candles and Hotel Chocolat.

There’s plenty of parking at the 1,700-space car park, and it’s close to the bus and train station if you’re coming by public transport.

For eating and drinking, head up to the food court for a range of cafes and eateries and who can resist a box from Millie’s Cookies? Kids will be happy with the onsite soft play and the Busy Bees Kids Club is worth signing up to for exclusive offers and invites to events.

Baby changing, toilets, disabled access and Amazon lockers are all covered, as are helpful extras like a Bureau de Change, passport photo booth and cash machines.
