VIVID at The Paddock

The Central Convenience Store in the village, open from 6am to 10pm every day, provides most everyday needs including groceries, wine and beer, and incorporates post office facilities. Other shops can be found within 20 minutes’ walk at an Esso station and in Westergate. The village also has an Indian restaurant and a traditional, family-run pub, the Wilkes Head, which features an inglenook fireplace and an attractive garden and offers a varied menu and periodic live entertainments. There is a GP practice, the Croft Surgery, in Eastergate, and Bright Starts day nursery, Eastergate Primary School and Ormiston Six Villages Academy, all assessed as ‘Good’ by Ofsted, are all within fifteen minutes walk of the development. 

Fontwell Park Racecourse, to the north of The Paddock, complements its normal racing schedule with themed race days, including family events, throughout the year. Other sports and leisure amenities in the village include the Six Villages Sports Centre with its modern, well equipped gym. Eastergate Sports Pavilion is the home of Eastergate Cricket Club, which fields two senior league sides and several junior teams, while Barnham Trojans, one of the largest youth football clubs in West Sussex, meets at the nearby Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre. Regular talks and activities, such as quiz nights, are held in Eastergate Village Hall. The Paddock is also extremely well situated for access to miles of outstanding natural landscapes. South Downs National Park is around a mile to the north, and the beautiful beaches and seaside attractions of Bognor and the south coast are only five miles away.
