I spend a couple of weekends a month down that way
do you have any other recommendations for local attractions?
Edit: Apart from The Bluebell railway of which I'm a member

Well, other than those two there's one in Brighton itself which I believe is (or was) called The Engineerium?
Which has huge working machines and whatnot. Right near the greyhound stadium in Hove if you know there.
There's also somewhere on the boarder between Sussex and Hampshire but I can't remember what it's called sorry. It's like a fare/working museum. Not been there in years myself, but my friend took her little boy there last year so I know it's definitely still running.

Thanks!
I shall dig out some tourist maps and see if I can work out where those are.
Hurrah for days out!

Engineerium has been closed for renovation for a bit
They seem to do a monthly open day though, but I'm not sure what that involves.

Just to throw it in even though it's not geographically suited; I bloody love the Black Country Museum. It's a reconstructed little old Victorian mining town full of amazingly friendly yam-yams:
www.bclm.co.uk/
And they do amazing fish and chips with proper old reconditioned fish-n-chip shop stuff, and have a little old cinema that only plays charlie chaplin (and other oldies I wouldn't be able to name).
AND I think I bought a copy of the old testament in the 'black country dialect' from there once. Powerful. Very powerful. +4 to strength, but -2 to intelligence :/
