How we choose and check
The rules behind every listing on this site.
What gets included
Places and events are included because they are worth a visit for someone in Sussex, not because anyone has paid. Free listings are open to any business that is genuinely useful to visitors.
How facts are checked
Dates, prices, ages and facilities come from the venue's or organiser's own website, or from an authoritative source such as the National Trust, English Heritage, a theatre box office or the local council. Each listing shows the date it was checked and links to the sources. Descriptions are written in our own words.
If a fact cannot be confirmed, it is left out rather than guessed. Events whose dates are not yet confirmed are kept unpublished, and events drop off the site automatically once they end.
Featured partners
Some businesses pay for, or have a commercial relationship that includes, extra promotion. They are always labelled Featured partner, their links carry a sponsored attribute, and they appear in clearly marked placements. Featured status never changes the facts we publish about them, and it does not buy a place in our editorial lists. Some featured partners are clients of my agency, Boostkit.
Photos
Photos come from three places, and every one is credited. Some are shared by the venues themselves or by featured partners. Many are openly licensed photographs from Wikimedia Commons and Geograph, credited to the photographer with their licence. Where a venue publishes a preview image for sharing its page, we may show that image directly from the venue's own website, credited and linked back; we never copy or re-host it. If you own an image and would like it changed or removed, tell me and I will do it straight away.
Tracking links
Links to venues include tags that tell the venue the visit came from To Do in Sussex. They do not identify you personally.
Our AI guide
Bramble is an AI assistant. It searches the same checked listings you see on the site and is instructed never to invent venues, prices, dates or opening times. It can still make mistakes, so always confirm details with the venue. Conversations are not used to build a profile of you.
Corrections
If something is wrong or out of date, please tell me and I will fix it.
