Dads come in all shapes and sizes. Some are called Dad, some Grandad, Stepdad, Pops, Papa, or Mum. The people who support us, encourage us and help shape who we become deserve celebrating too, so why should Father’s Day look the same for everyone?
Whether you’re planning something adventurous, relaxing, food-focused or family-friendly, Bognor Regis and the surrounding area offer plenty of ways to make Father’s Day memorable.
Set within beautifully landscaped surroundings complete with waterfalls and tropical planting, the 18-hole adventure golf course offers fun for all ages. Even better, dads can play for free on Father’s Day when accompanied by a paying child.
After conquering the course, take time to enjoy Hotham Park itself. With open green spaces, play areas and a café nearby, it is an easy way to turn Father’s Day into a full family outing.
Refuel afterwards with something delicious from Hotham Park Café before enjoying a wander through one of Bognor Regis’ best-loved parks.
On your bike
For dads who are happiest on two wheels, a cycling-themed Father’s Day could be just the ticket.
Whether it is upgrading gear, treating Dad to a new accessory, or booking in a bike MOT ready for summer adventures, local independent cycling specialists can help get him road-ready.
Kampos Cycles offers bikes, servicing and cycling essentials for riders of all abilities.
Pair it with a coastal ride along the promenade or countryside routes nearby and enjoy some fresh air together.
For Dads who cannot stop reading
Heygates Bookshop
Some gifts never go out of style, and a good book sits firmly at the top of that list.
Heygates Bookshop has long been a favourite destination for book lovers. Whether Dad enjoys gripping crime novels, local history, biographies, sport, travel writing or something completely unexpected, browsing shelves together can become part of the celebration.
Better still, why not pick a title you can both enjoy and compare notes over coffee afterwards?
For Dads That love watching films
Picturedrome Cinema
Sometimes Father’s Day calls for popcorn, comfy seats and a great film (and sometimes even a nap – even if they swear their eyes weren’t closed).
Bognor Regis Picturedrome remains a much-loved part of the town, offering the chance to slow down and enjoy time together watching the latest releases.
Whether Dad enjoys action, comedy, thrillers or family favourites, catching a film can make for a relaxed Father’s Day activity, whatever the weather decides to do.
For Dads that love food
Aldingbourne Country Centre
Food often sits at the heart of Father’s Day celebrations, and Aldingbourne Country Centre is helping families make the most of it.
This Father’s Day, visitors can enjoy a menu designed to celebrate the occasion, featuring favourites including All Day English Breakfast options and classic roast dinners.
Desserts include homemade pecan pie with vanilla ice cream and strawberries and cream. Every dad also receives a complimentary beer to raise a toast to the day.
Families with little ones are covered too, with a children’s two-course menu available.
The experience does not stop at lunch. Dads receive free entry to the Country Centre for the day, creating the opportunity to enjoy quality family time, outdoor activities and everything the site has to offer.
Located on the former RAF Tangmere site in West Sussex, the museum celebrates aviation history and offers visitors the opportunity to explore aircraft, artefacts and fascinating wartime stories.
Father’s Day does not have to mean expensive gifts or grand plans.
Sometimes it is fish and chips on the beach, a coffee together, a shared laugh over adventure golf, or simply making time to do something Dad enjoys. Whatever Father’s Day looks like in your family, Bognor Regis offers plenty of opportunities to make memories together.
