There's plenty in Sussex for those who don't wish to spend plenty of cash on attractions:
Walking - 3500km of walking paths, bridleways, scenic roads - all for free (http://www.eastsussex.gov...)
Go for a swim: Sussex has some of the cleanest beaches in the UK, with Brighton Beach renowned for its packed seafront, less well used areas, such as Eatbourne, Bexhill and Hastings still have facilities and cleanliness.
Brighton itself can be one big performance, the Brighton Festival (http://www.brightonfestiv...) and the Brighton Festival Fringe (http://www.brightonfestiv...) between the dates of the 3rd and 25th of May 2008 features street performers, theatre groups, musicians, guided walks and a whole host of other great activities.
