This page is printer friendly

As you approach Brighton on the A23 you will come to the Mill Rd Roundabout; follow signs for Lewes and Newhaven on the A27 (East). You will need to be in the second from left lane as you veer left before the roundabout.
After ascending the hill, take the second exit off the roundabout (straight on) and pass over the bridge, again following signs for Lewes and Newhaven on the A27.
After crossing the bridge, take a right turn at the roundabout, again following signs for Lewes and Newhaven on the A27.
Follow the A27 for two junctions. Take the left exit slip road, ignore the main entrance to Sussex University and follow signs for Falmer
At the top of the slip road, take the right turn off the roundabout, signposted Woodingdean and cross over the bridge
On the other side of the bridge, go straight through the roundabout, again following signs for Woodingdean
As you descend into Woodingdean you will come to a set of traffic lights, turn right at the lights following signs for Marina Village and Racecourse
You will come to a set of lights alongside the racecourse, turn left and cross over the racecourse.
As you descend towards the sea you will come to a green sign on your left for the Stanley Deason Leisure Centre. Turn in here if you need to use the changing rooms or continue down the road to the pitches.
Coming down the hill you will see the floodlights on your left hand side. There will probably also be cars parked on the grass verge on the left hand side of the road.

Returning to Our Clubhouse After Your Match

All our opponents are invited back to our clubhouse for 'teas' and drinks. Please do ask if you can follow one of our members back to the clubhouse or alternatively you can follow these directions:

1) Ascend the hill (Wilson Avenue) from the pitches.

2) After crossing the racetrack at the top of the hill, turn left onto Warren Road.

3) After a couple of hundred yards, take the right fork onto Bear Road.

4) Descend to the bottom of the hill.

5) The road you want is directly opposite, and heads under the railway bridge, but you'll need to follow the one-way system around the BP petrol station, keeping it on your right, until you turn left onto Hollingdean Road.

6) After passing underneath the railway follow the sharp turn to your right.

7) Take the 3rd turn on your right onto Hollingbury Road.

8) Follow the road up the hill until it swings round left to some traffic lights.

9) Take the straight-on/rightish road, Preston Drove.

10) Continue along for about half a mile until you come across a long grey wall on your left and park anywhere along the street. The clubhouse is behind the wall, at the downhill end.
