The best time to go to Polegate is from late spring to early autumn, specifically May through to September, when the weather is generally mildest and most conducive for outdoor activities.During these months, you'll find the most sunshine and the least rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding East Sussex countryside and the nearby South Downs National Park. The longer daylight hours also mean you have more time to enjoy local attractions like Drusillas Park or to take day trips to the coast at Eastbourne.For those who enjoy walking, June, July, and August offer the best conditions for hiking along the South Downs Way or exploring the Cuckmere Valley. The local gardens and parks are typically in full bloom, offering lovely scenery.If you prefer to avoid the busiest school holiday periods and potentially warmer temperatures, May and September are excellent choices.
