Going down next week with the mighty Mansfield for their game with Eastbourne, we need a hotel near Eastbourne's ground / Sea front for the Friday Saturday night. Not bothered about the price just needs to be local to everything.

Cheers

Nidge.

There are loads of hotels and they are all in the center. Near the pier if you fancy jumping.

I've just noticed that the ground is on the outside of town, should cost you no-more than £7/8 in a cab.

A Garden Lover's Dream

Friday 22nd & Saturday 23rd May 2009

Buckingham Palace Gardens
&
Chelsea Flower Show



Our exclusive Garden Lover's weekend is pure, horticultural indulgence

First we'll take you on an exclusive tour of Buckingham Palace Gardens, the setting for the Queen's Garden Parties. Then, the next day we'll entertain you in VIP style at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Beginning with a talk inside the Palace an expert will show you around the 39 acre garden which boasts more than 350 types of wild flowers, over 200 trees and a three acre lake. You will see the beautiful Herbaceous Border, the wisteria-clad summer house and the Rose Garden. You'll also see the enormous Waterloo Vase and the Palace court, where King George VI and Fred Perry played in the 1930s.

The next day at the Chelsea Flower Show, your day will be based around our beautifully appointed pavilion situated right at the heart of the show.

As you soak up the glorious atmosphere, stunning sights and enthralling scents, we'll provide morning coffee and pastries, a champagne reception, a three course luncheon and afternoon tea to punctuate your day.

To complete your package we'll arrange two nights temporary membership and stay for you at the elegant Sloane Club, a short drive from the Palace and just a three minute walk from the Chelsea Flower Show.

Thursday and Friday evenings are free for you to enjoy London, and we would be happy to help you secure West End tickets, dining or even a spin on the London Eye.

Whether you're green-fingered or just revel in the surroundings of a beautiful garden, this exclusive weekend will be a delight.

Booking is limited to just 25 couples.

An exclusive tour of the Gardens at Buckingham Palace (Fri 22nd May)
