...is fairly easy to visit,with rail lines from London to Brighton, Lewes, Hastings and Littlehampton and a line all along the coast. At many stops, you can just start walking into the Downs.
There are many events happening in Sussex. Indeed Brighton seems to have one every week! Alongside the Brighton festival in May, there are the lively bonfire celebrations in Lewes (you can ask people to make a guy of almost whoever you please!) and arts festivals in Arundel and Lewes.

Along a bit further is the newly refurbished Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. This is like a miniature V & A and Tate Modern rolled in to one with a splendid collection of modern art, furniture and fashion from across the world. Refurbished and re-opened last year it has been a huge success attracting many visitors and it is well worth a visit. Entry is free!
