The beautiful scenery and evocative environment around Bognor Regis was immortalised by William Blake as ‘England’s green and pleasant land’ when he wrote Jerusalem whilst living here in the 19th century.  The town continues to have a vibrant local arts community, with theatre, exhibitions, trails and workshops running throughout the year, as well as an active live music scene.

Bognor Regis is a fantastic place to feel re-energised, with the rejuvenating properties of the sea air earning it a royal seal of approval.
