Fun things to do in Eastbourne: 28 fun attractions and activities

Eastbourne Pier is a must-visit destination if you're in the area! The pier beautifully blends Victorian charm with modern-day attractions, offering stunning views of the sea and coastline, especially during sunset. What really impressed me was the variety of food options available right on the pier. From traditional fish and chips to sweet treats and ice creams, there's something for everyone — and the best part? There are several halal food options available too, which is fantastic for Muslim visitors. I came across a few spots serving halal burgers, grilled chicken, and even doner kebabs — all clearly labeled and freshly prepared. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced, making it a great place for a casual meal with a view. There are also plenty of seating areas to enjoy your food while soaking in the sea breeze. In addition to the food, the pier has amusement arcades, souvenir shops, and a lovely tea room, making it a great place to spend a few hours with family or friends. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the staff at the food outlets were friendly and helpful. All in all, Eastbourne Pier offers a complete experience — scenic views, great food (with halal options!), and fun activities. Highly recommended for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

Very nice place for a stroll and some family time. Went for the airbourne show this year and it is definitely a must see every year. Personally, I enjoy going to Eastbourne pier on a regular basis as it is fun and parking is not difficult. The seaside is lovely and there's plenty of places to have a snack.

Lovely four day break, nice hotel, nice clean town, pleasant local people. Great shops, great pier ,well looked after, with plenty of seating. Nice bar and fish and chips while listening to live music. Worth a visit.

Eastbourne pierThe structure of Eastbourne pier is a remarkable feat of engineering, stretching gracefully into the sea. Visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions and entertainment options along its length. It has become a beloved landmark, offering stunning views of the coastline. The pier's history has seen moments of triumph and resilience, shaping its enduring presence. A stroll along the pier is a delightful experience for all ages.

Beautiful Victorian pier with cafés and arcades. A lovely place for a stroll and to enjoy the sea views. Can feel a bit touristy, but still very charming.

I recently visited Eastbourne Pier and was genuinely impressed by how beautiful and peaceful it was. The pier stretches gracefully out into the sea, offering stunning views of the coastline and the endless blue water. Whether you’re taking a slow walk, snapping some photos, or just sitting down to enjoy the breeze, it’s a lovely spot to relax and unwind. The architecture of the pier is charming, with its classic British seaside feel — clean, well-maintained, and full of character. On a sunny day, the whole place lights up with a calm, cheerful vibe that makes it perfect for both quiet moments and fun outings with friends or family. There are small shops, cafés, and places to grab snacks, and even though it’s not overly commercialized, it still has everything you need for a relaxing afternoon. We took some great photos here — the contrast of the blue sea, the sky, and the white railings made every shot look postcard-worthy. Overall, Eastbourne Pier is a beautiful little escape from the busy city life. Whether you’re local or just visiting, it’s definitely worth spending some time here. Highly recommended if you love the sea and classic coastal charm.

Pier was ok, some shops were closed. There's a bar towards the end of the pier with live music outside on brighter days. Good view of the airshow too.

Lovely spot to go and walk in the sunshine. My son and pup love sitting here watching the swans go by. With two parks to have fun in. And a cafe in the central to enjoy a spot of lunch. Plenty of room for picnics and even a mini golf course. Recommend for a cheap cheerful day with the kiddies.

Nice boating lake, did not go to the perch cafe

Great park and field at the moment the funfair is down (June 2025) until July 2025 so pop along.. Wrist bands are £15 with access to all rides , £10 entry and small kids rides . There are food stalls , & bungee jumps that charge Tables , toilets & the fayre area is well kept and clean . O from the fayre was pleasant to talk to and really informative about how the fun fayre is run. Lovely people running the funfair and I can see clearly from talking to O that this fun fayre puts there heart and soul into everything they do and also ensuring people have the best time and experience at there fayre 😁 x

Full of color and life. A good place and space for family walk in the afternoon

Lovely park. Little lake to Walk around. Lots of swans and ducks to feed! Children’s play area looked good. The perch cafe is charming. Reasonably priced food. Friendly efficient wait staff. We are already planning to return to play pitch and putt followed by another Perch Breakfast.

A great place to have a relaxing walk, some wildlife well worth seeing including the odd Cormorant. The waters and grounds are always kept in good order though the new cafe which is currently still undergoing restoration was not opened during the Summer 2016 which was a disappointment this year.

Good to see the gardener has started to clear the weeds again, plus the grass was cut. It's been a disgrace for months. Still evidence of rough sleepers in the bushes.

Definitely recommend a stop get tour bus day pass stops near by or stroll down in in town. Great exhibition nice little library for a read or if you want to be art bring your bits and sit. Staff are lovely and make sure you get a photo round the corner of this stunning gallery. Small but mighty perfect in its own right. Highly recommended.

Interesting gallery, well curated. We often make a special trip down for the weekend. Excellent exhibitions, great restaurant on the top floor, a research library where you can learn more about mid century British art & more. Cafe & cinema & bookshop. Sign up for a tour to see more of the permanent collection. After have a walk along the sea. Combine it with a visit to Hastings just a short drive down the coast.

Fantastic gallery. Great exhibitions on Sussex Modernism and Paule Vézelay. Fabulous food in The Light restaurant with great views from the terrace

Great facility, lots of space and possibly the largest passenger lift I have ever been in, clean and with many facilities. Although I will admit I didn't try the cafe

Excellent contemporary gallery with high quality exhibitions. The restaurant is a beautiful and calm space with a sunny terrace. The menu is interesting and delicious. The cinema hosts the latest arthouse, independent and foreign cinema and has a handsome bar. I would give the gallery five stars if it were not for the noise from loud people in the galleries, which is distracting and irritating. This includes loud conversations by staff who also do nothing to control the noise levels. It has been so distracting while trying to watch the films and read the explanations of the works that I likely won't return often. At the Emma Stibbon show last year, there groups of shrieking pensioners and a small group of women stood right behind me, talking loudly while I tried to watch the video - I had to ask them to move. Yesterday, there were similar levels of noise from people who seem to have no awareness of others. While I don't expect it to be library silent, I do expect, especially for paid exhibitions, to be able to concentrate on what I've come to see. Also, I came out of the exhibition and sat down to watch another video on the screen on the landing and 30 seconds in was approached by a staff member who wanted me to complete a survey. She could see that I was trying to watch a film. They should ensure that visitors can enjoy the experience without such distractions.

Very disappointed in the Turner exhibition. Despite having to pay for this one, less than half the paintings were Turner's. Thankfully we had a coffee on the roof terrace to make up for it, after. The Ravillious exhibition was brilliant, and free.

Visited because my wife and I have been binge watching portrait artist of the year, but only landscapes from Ravilius were on display. Still interesting, however. Went for a coffee and sticky bun in the cafe afterwards, but sadly the buns were all gone :( Hope to revisit in a couple of weeks for the Turner exhibition 😉

Been coming here for years. Always having many great times here. But as the kids got older the soft play lots it's charm. Well still bring visiting younger family members. But today did the 18 hole golf ⛳️ course , great for all ages. Followed by lunch from the outside food and drink window. Is a great place to spend an hr or 2 .

First time coming here on Sunday for my little boys 1st birthday party and they was really good - very polite and helpful lots of things to do for little ones and big kids. we also had a party host who was very friendly would definitely recommend - Elijah had a wonderful time ☺️🥳

Great crazy golf and friendly staff. Must guve Paige a mention, a welcoming, sensible girl who was so helpful in an understated way. She could easily be overlooked but we were impressed by her.

What an absolute gem, great place for little tots. Loads to do with the splash pool, sand beaches, and play houses. My granddaughters loved it. They also had access to the soft play area. Great value for money £20.00 for 2 adults and 2 little people. Snacks and drinks are not expensive. Great value for money. Added bonus the staff were lovely and really helpful. Really lovely day, thank you team.

We were down in Eastbourne for a wedding, and eyed this up on Google and when out for a walk. We visited to play the Adventure Golf - 2 Adults - Saturday morning - end April 2022. There was no wait. The course is well kept, with brilliant decorative features/installations, and an easy route to follow. Each hole provided entertainment and varied challenges. A thoroughly enjoyable Crazy Golf course. There was a family and another couple playing whilst we were there

Unlimited fun for small kids. On the 2 days we went, they fully exhausted themselves indoors(the outdoors were closed). The soft play is sizeable, there's a smaller baby soft play and even a huge telly that played toy story on day 1 and lion king/moana on day 2.

Really lovely place for kids. We turned up early and got a good spot, so we could see the kids playing in the water and the sand. The sandpit is a good size, I'll remember to bring buckets and spades next time! The water part is great, especially to keep cool on a hot day. The pirate ship playarea is good fun too. My kids were kept entertained for several hours before they had enough. We then went indoors and they played in the soft play area then chilled in the TV corner. Such good value for money. Can't wait to return.

Friendly staff. Nice items to purchase.A really worthy organisation to donate to.

4 stars as I would say its a very nice little shop with friendly staff and a very small add on with some information/fact boards and not a museum.

We have been here with a group of children in the age between 12 and 15. They all had a really good time and we had the chance to talk to someone who served in the RNLI.

Being a great RNLI supporter.I always visit when on holiday This branch though small was well stocked shop.Restaurant attached for drinks and snacks Well maintained.Lovely girls serving in the coffee shop.As my snack became airborne much to the dog near bys glee.They replaced It for me.They were helpful and friendly.

Often visit with my grandchildren who love to look around. The staff are very attentive and friendly.

The RNLI is just amazing. This incredible charity needs all the help it can get. Great building. Lovely shop. Friendly staff. Easy access.

A lovely old stn building with helpful volunteers selling current RNLI products.

It's a nice and large pebble beach. Good pier. Easy to walk from station to beach via high street. Good number of shops on the high street. Easy accessible by public transport. Enjoyed my day out with sun shine.

A long shingle beach, providing excellent access for those less mobile, along mostly flat paths, with slope access in addition to steps. The promenade has recently been re-landscaped, replacing typical seaside bedding plants, with more sustainable perennials, bulbs & grasses. The 300m pier, is a bit tired, although all piers are fun & interesting, shame seeing beautiful victorian architecture now rusting & in need of some tlc. The Band Stand is now mostly blocked from view by an ugly blue solid barrier, so people can't watch, without paying, the regular bands & entertainers. The promenade runs right along the shoreline, with several levels in places, plenty of seats along the prom. Going west along the prom, are mature planted beds, with one of the many fascinating Martello Towers - this one named the Wish Tower, originally built as defensive outposts against Napolean attack. Now many are cared for by local conservation groups.... & some open to the public.

This is a beautiful stretch of beach. Much of it is pebbled and the breeze is so refreshing even in the evening. On what part you can see kayaks and small boats parked. Highly recommend.

very nice area with loads of hotels and a few good restaurants but a very enjoyable beach i think all year round- we stayed in a beachfront hotel and kept making trips down to the water - i really like the water and it wasn’t too busy the people were also nice unlike some other coastal places that can be very unwelcoming. would recommend for a short holiday!

Lovely place they did an effort to put all working in place. They have nice sea front with shops and coffee places to enjoy a drink with a nice view…., they have tap water to rinse your body after swimming in the sea. They pier is just fantastic, the buildings are well kept…, they have public toilets. Highly recommend to visit this place.

nice sunny day, pebble beaches with promenade along beach. great pier with excellent victorian tea room. excellent food good service and yummy coconut milk shake

Stony beach. With a beautiful pier. Lovely gardens well kept. Local history. Would visit again

Lovley venue, outside and good atmosphere. Can get cold if windy so bring a jumper. You can buy blankets here to. Bar available. Great evening to watch live music

Eastbourne Bandstand is a gem on the Sussex coast — a striking seafront venue that blends historic charm with vibrant musical life. Built in 1935, its distinctive blue domed roof and art deco design make it one of the most recognisable landmarks in Eastbourne, and it remains a focal point for live entertainment throughout the year. The Bandstand hosts an impressive variety of events, from traditional brass bands and tribute acts to themed nights and fireworks concerts. Whether you're into swing, classical, or Queen, there's likely a performance for you. The sound quality is surprisingly good given the open-air setting, and the tiered seating ensures a decent view for most audience members. It’s particularly magical on warm summer evenings, when the music mingles with the sea breeze. Staff are friendly and well-organised, and ticket prices are reasonable, making it an accessible evening out. The location is ideal too — just a short walk from Eastbourne Pier, with ample nearby parking and local amenities. That said, the weather can be unpredictable, and while the covered seating offers some protection, dressing for the elements is wise. Also, during busier events, the seating can feel a bit cramped. Overall, Eastbourne Bandstand offers a wonderful blend of nostalgia, community spirit, and first-rate entertainment — a must-visit for music lovers or anyone looking for a quintessentially British seaside experience.

We unexpectedly came across the bandstand, as we were new to the area. There was a band playing and plenty of seating for spectators. It was an unbelievable atmosphere, with everyone participating either by singing along, clapping, waving their hands, dancing and just enjoying themselves from young and old. Hats off to their Council for funding the event.

We saw 2 shows recently which were great. Staff were very helpful when I needed it. Lynda in the ticket office was amazing. She went above and beyond to help me when I had some difficulties. She also helped by printing my tickets which I thought I had lost on my phone. Lynda was very calm and so kind. I'm very grateful for all her help. It made the experience much more enjoyable. Everyone was friendly and the quality of shows was excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

We went to see the Motown tribute act last and it was the worst act I have ever seen here. They turned up late, couldn't get their words right and their voices were just dreadful. They turned up 20 minutes but didn't stay any later to make it up!! Would not recommend anyone to go to see them

Been here a couple of times to see some tribute acts, enjoyed it and will come back 😀

This bandstand make an incredible venue for a concert. I was a speaker at an outside church service where around 1000 people gathered. It makes for a very intimate venue as you can see everyone clearly from the stage. Th acoustics are amazing too. We had a brilliant sunny day hope you get one too.

Me and my family have now been to see Wizard of oz, Jack and the bean stalk, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, and Goldie locks and the three bears panto, If you want family fun entertainment these guys are the ones to see haven’t been disappointed yet, although I am going to be truly honest Goldie locks and the three bears was probably the most boring out of them all I didn’t laugh no where near as much as the other 3pantos it felt really dulled down not like any of the other 3 of their shows, my 14year old didn’t enjoy it like he did the other 3 either, How ever My 9year old nephew and 5year old daughter really enjoyed it just as much as all the others ☺️ But felt this was aimed more for the younger and not a whole family entertainment, But never the less What a brilliant team they are and it won’t put us off coming back to watch Aladdin at Christmas ☺️

A pleasant theatre to visit for a smaller concert. I will definitely visit again.

This is a great theatre and I love its old world feel - it's from a different age. The staff are always incredibly friendly and the bar prices are very low.

Great venu, small and friendly , great staff, fabulous performance on 29th August, tribute act to Dua Leaper and Elton John , stunning show so we'll produced with everyone dancing in the ials, well done to all those involved , loved it .

Lovely little theatre ,went to see the Wednesday night show ,curtains up,highly recommended,fantastic singing and dancing and a bit of comedy ,cheapish as well 18 concessions 20 full price,a little bar at side…

We went to see certain up and I must say that it was amazing the theatre is small but it was very nice the cast were very professional and the comedian was the hight light of the night extremely impressed thank you

Visited Eastbourne and booked two shows, first was Bruce Springsteen tribute at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre. The band was great musians but didn't realise how many I didn't know but brilliant finish. The theatre is 150 years old but looks fantastic. We must keep these places open for the next generation. Two drinks were over £10 so little on the experience side and no bar seating but we'll worth a visit.

A nice hystoric place to visit. Very nice views from the top. I've been on Sunday late and was only few visitors but I guess you can also get into the rooms and to see more. Facilities are offered as a toilet, few benches with tables and also you have a variety of products from small shops from inside as coffee, juices, icecreams, cakes and more. It's nice to visit as a small group with or without kids. I recomend it and for sure I'll be back to visit and relax watching the surroundings and the sea from the top. Have a good day you all! 👍

It is history, protection, extraordinary, and a magnet. I believe in miracles, and that's why I hope it will be restored. Theoretically, given world politics and what's happening in the canal, it might even make sense. Much here could be quickly restored and repaired. I've noticed so many things today that can be quickly repaired. How about free or inexpensive hotel rooms for guests who want to save such a legacy? Also in other areas, like the pier, below and above. There's a lot missing. Have donation boxes set up for the repair of damage caused by Corona, the storm, and the global economic crisis. Ideally, in the hotel dining rooms. One or just a handful can't do it, but everyone together can. ☀️😃😇👍

Great visit which is free unless you want to go in the museum. Kids had a great time playing and looking at the cannons. Nice views to be had on the top level and the cafe is reasonably priced.

Nice place to go to find out about some of the history of Eastbourne. Also there is a good opportunity to get some good views of the beach from the fortress. Interesting way to spend a bit of time and no cost for doing so.

Interesting historic fort with exhibits and interactive displays inside. The tour is definitely worth doing as the guides are knowledgeable and you'll learn things you'd otherwise miss.

What a lovely place. You can get a coffee and sit around. Such a historical site with cannons, though they were not the genuine ones at the fort originally, will inspire your children. The seafront view is great. All these remind is the hard fought peace that we are enjoying. Lest we forget.

Guided heritage tour ..very interesting but bit disappointed we couldn't view the ground level

Really lovely little farm and play areas for young children. My nearly two year old loved it, although she was sad she couldn’t see the cows! The price was really reasonable for all the different things to see and do. It was nice that the gift shop and cafe wasn’t a rip off like some places can be, but the food selection was quite poor. That’s the only thing letting it down I’d say! Other than that, well worth a day out for toddlers and young children.

We went to Sharnfold this weekend for the Peppa Pig character weekend, and just had such a lovely time!! A really well run event, which whilst very popular didn't feel at all rushed with the characters patiently allowing children to get their photos taken and give high fives and hugs. The cafe had some themed Peppa pig rice cakes that were really affordable so the kids could have a treat. No heavy push to sell merchandise but it was there if you wanted it, with cheaper options like balloons for smaller budgets. Great value for money and really friendly staff. An afternoon well spent and next time I would go earlier to have more time on the farm meeting the animals too!

Came a couple weeks ago, i loved the staff, they were really nice but i honestly expected more animals or a bit more to do. However there was plenty for the kids which is good, the location (way there) wasn't safe as i had to walk up a very long and curvy road with a baby. (Yes i could've waited for a bus but it only would've stopped in the middle of the road anyway). Overall 3/5.

We used to visit frequently before the refurbishment as the farm shop breakfast was lovely, and great value. Visited recently and they no longer have a functioning kitchen or a breakfast menu. Such a shame. We ended up going elsewhere with our group of 6.

A 1-star rating for disabled amenities, we phoned prior to our visit and was assured wheelchair assess wasn’t a issue, which in fairness to get around was fine but to get into the wooden shacks just stairs and no ramps I find it ridiculous. He was unable to access the cars at “vehicle valet”. We chose this place as it said it had a “sensory street”. I wouldn’t call it a street just a board. Nothing sensory about it, which was very disappointing. All In all of you have a great wheelchair bound child I would avoid.

Overcharged at the cafe, luckily staff noticed they made a mistake and refunded. Didn't want to go around the trail just the pumpkin picking but had to pay entry to trail anyway I didnt get our carers ticket so had to pay full price, ontop of it all a medium sized pumpkin cost nearly £9 ! Even with that they wanted nearly £7 to carve the thing ! No thank you. We used to love coming here for halloween as it used to be reasonably priced and never had to pay just to go get a pumpkin before and could get 3 pumpkins for the price we paid today. Daylight robbery!

This review was about the PYO pumpkin patch, my personally review of this place is 3 starts at best! Firstly we get there with a 3 year old, very excited, go to the tills and the 4 or 5 members of staff looked at us and just ignored us. a few minuets later a female member of staff came over and just handed us bands, no information not telling us where to go. so we walked over to a door and tried to open it. "we had to be buzzed thought" again NO ONE gave a crap about us being customers and it took someone cleaning a table on the other side of the store to walk over and let in though. even tho the tills are 2 steps away. i mean the pure lack of customer service or care was shocking.

Went there as somewhere different for a dog walk. There were no restrictions on where we could go. Great place to see some English history, and how it has been involved during centuries of history.

Very nice castle. The grounds are quite large and free to visit with some information boards, so great for dogs. It is rare, at least in my experience, to see rounded Roman walls, which was then built upon after 1066. The keep you need to pay for, a touch bare but nothing an audio guide can't fix, and there are a few rooms with exhibitions for extra viewing. Don't forget the dungeon.

Just a short visit to Pevensey Castle, trying to fit a lot into our day. After first visiting Battle Abbey, another English Heritage site, it was only a short drive down to Pevensey & like Battle Abbey, Pevensey is well worth a visit. We were fortunate to have lovely weather for both our visits.

Amazing castle with lots of layers of history. The kind lady in the shop was extremely knowledgeable which made the experience so much more enjoyable.

It is completely worth, make sure to take the audio guide from the shop!!! The history is amazing and it’s amazing to imagine the old times.

Wonderful castle and roman fort ruins remains to explore. Fabulous views too

Once a roman fort, later a norman castle and on the end WWII stronghold. Lots to explore and on top of it it's a dog friendly place.

Lovely and interesting little gem. Free to visit. This place is run by volunteers and there was a lovely man there when we went. Loads of items there with lots of information. Definitely worth a visit.

Small but beautifully formed museum with many items and displays. Covers the significant major historic actions which shaped English and French history, also local, smaller occurrences that are also of interest.

Great place, small but very informative. Lots to see, you will love it if you enjoy history, fascinating and free.

Great little museum, fascinating exhibits, some natural history finds and plenty of local history, open bank Holidays too.

It's free to get in. It's small but has so much history. It's a bit scary downstairs where the jail rooms are, but worth going. The volunteer had so much to say about the history of the building.

Tiny museum on the high street, full of interesting history. The museum is based on the first floor with some really interesting papers, pictures and displays from the area. On the ground floor there are two prison cells showing life of the time.

Little museum with interesting local law court history

Brilliant couple of hours fun! Would have taken less if we were any good! Sasha and Layla in the clubhouse were very polite and professional. Highly recommended!

We have been coming since it opened and are firm regulars both to play mini golf and the cafe. Sasha, Sophie and the rest of the staff are so polite, friendly and make us so welcome on every visit. The food is extra delicious and the coffee is best in Eastbourne. The golf course is well kept and is addictive to both adults and children. Certainly worth a visit you won’t be disappointed. Well done Princes Mini Golf.

Came here today with my 3 boys and was greeted by a lovely sophie who was incredibly helpful Course was lovely boys loved it! Was that lovely we Thought we would try for dinner Food was lovely and Sophie went out her way to make sure everything was ok, made us feel very welcome Nothing wasn’t a problem Thank you sophie

Myself and friends have had 4 fantastic fun loaded afternoons at princes minigolf. Each game lasting between 1.5hr and 2hrs finishing up at the very friendly Cafe, good hot food with top notch service with a smile from Layla and Sasha. I am a pensioner and will recommend this activity to my friends.

The cafe here is absolutely insane! Amazing prices and top quality food. I had their ultimate burger today and it had some unique lime chillie pickle mustard type sauce. It was out of this world, it balanced beautifully with the beef and egg.. It's a peculiar taste for the pallet and I found it incredibly moreish.... I'll be back for more that's for sure!

Brilliant couple of hours! The people in the cafe were also very friendly and helpful. Nice sandwiches and coffee as well. Highly recommended.

Excellent and testing putting course. Very enjoyable to play. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and a lovely cafe selling refreshing drinks and yummy case. Would definitely recommend.

Difficult review to leave. Obviously reopening and getting back into business which is brilliant as we need more places like this for the kiddies and obviously a working progress (where all behind you). Very clean ! And staff friendly and welcoming well as the play area great for burning energy. The down fall on a few things was the prices. I paid nearly a tenner for my 2 year old and myself for entry. Which I pay 7 a month for soft play along the road ? (Which I know your monthly is around that anyway.) But I think for those one off visit doesn't need to be so high ! Personal opinion (the monthly rolling between the two business was a fantastic idea!) Giving the option if one is busy there's space in the other. Your electrical rides wasn't working and on the Peppa pig ride you have burnt marks on the faces which isn't pleasing to see. (Needs a little update) Your offer for after school dinning. (Brilliant idea 💡) this I highly recommend 👌 and good pricing. Apart from those little minor issues I'm sure this will bloom.

First time coming back here since it reopened and I was disappointed to be honest. The play equipment appeared to be clean, so that was good. The food was a big disappointment. The panini was hard and a small portion of chips. Definitely not worth the money! The kids had more food on their plate than a non kids meal. My son had a burger which was the only decent item on our plates. Also the freakshakes were a big disappointment. We ordered 3 chocolate ones and they were so disgusting. The taste reminded me of a gel pen chocolate scent. A complete waste of money as the kids wouldn't drink them as the taste was so bitter. Also noticed that the tables weren't being cleared or cleaned once people had left. I spent 4 hours here today and there were three tables close by that had been left for half hour or more before anyone started cleaning them.

Difficult to rate this place because 1) we travelled for the splash pad which seems to have closed years ago, and 2) the entrance to the soft play indoor area is free 🤔. But, it was a nice visit, Food and beverages available, located next to the beach, cheap parking, and a good walking distance to the pier (a good opportunity to get those 6k steps (or 16k). The staff was friendly and helpful, not busy, while the cleanliness was appropriate for a place visited by children. It's worth a stop.

Only soft play open free but obviously too busy and until we alerted staff was a free for all in all play areas when we asked staff to get kids over 1yr old in baby area out they reacted very well but we should not have had to do so as we were watching and unless we asked were never gonna do there job. But once cleared of over age kids my 1yr old had area to himself 🤔 but nice staff so don't want to complain too much.

Happened to be down in Eastbourne for the weekend and stumbled across this indoor soft play where in August it was free entry so we went in - a great place to burn off some energy and keep the kids occupied for a while. Would definitely return if in the area again. Thank you!

Can’t complain too much, as we attended for free during the summer holidays event. Payed for parking, then told at reception we couldn’t come in as there wasn’t any tables left. However thankfully someone came and said there was a spare table, so we could come in. Area very busy, and loud . But as you would expect a soft play… so no problem there. There’s three areas joined together: under 1s, 2-4, and older. I came with a 1 year old and a 3 year old. My 1 year old was to big for the smallest area, and too small for the middle one. My 3 year old was bored in the 2-4 as there wasn’t only a slide and a tunnel. Nothing else, the big area was to busy for her. So nothing suited either of them. Perhaps when they are both over 4, I might return. The food and drink… awful. I only got a coke and a bowl of chips. It came too £4.80. Chips took 15mins. They were cold, tasteless and ridiculously greasy. My coke was just carbonated water… so didn’t drink that. Facilities was ok. Staff friendly, and actively tidying.

Good afternoon out with the kids. They enjoyed the water activities and the mini golf a lot. The food was good and reasonably priced. They did not have any lockers or showers for changing etc. The slides were slippery. The ride were more for younger kids. Inside was very hot in the summer. Adult prices could be cheaper.

We watched The Play What I Wrote at Devonshire Park Theatre – such a fun and lively performance! The atmosphere was cheerful, the audience laughed out loud, and the whole evening felt light-hearted and entertaining. The theatre itself is a beautiful Victorian building, and the staff were very polite and friendly, which made the experience even more welcoming. A real cultural gem in Eastbourne.

Lovely Victorian theatre in Eastbourne. Visiting from Canada, our local friend got tickets for Strangers on a Train, which was highly entertaining.

Excellent venue with excellent staff. Really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes last night. A special shout out to the lovely couple who ran the audio description for my husband. They were both helpful and kind.

I love this place. A real theatre with charm, popular with locals and performers alike. If you really want to find out what goes into putting on top shows, do the tea and tour (it's a real eye-opener!) There is also rumoured to be a ghost. And if you've never seen a thriller in a theatre, try it - it's a much more thrilling experience than TV or film as you are literally right there in the room with the performers. I saw Gaslight a while ago and it was amazing! Support your local theatres.

Fabulous building and oozes atmosphere in the hall. Your specific experience may differ depending on what you go to see and how much it costs per seat which was £80 for two seats in my case for a play that was underwhelming, but that’s not the fault of the theatre. It was also more than half empty and was even emptier after the interval as loads of people left (although again, they may have just not liked the play. If you want to start off your Victorian theatre experience properly, visit the bar, which is like stepping back in time maybe 60 years. All bottled and lukewarm drinks available at outrageous prices and ice cubes seemed to be limited to one per drink, just like the old days. Have your pre theatre drinks beforehand round the corner at the Bohemian.

Oldie theatre, helpful staff, good performance.

Old traditional theatre great view from the circle, staff were helpful and polite.

It may not have a pier or attractions, but this was a peaceful pebbled beach with historical significance as it is where the Normans landed in 1066.

A very peaceful beach without the noise of tourists. Excellent facilities such as a large pay and display car park, 10 huge litter bins with proper handles to stop the seagulls pulling out litter. 5 unisex toilets, 2 disabled toilets, one with a changing room and a shower unit. So peaceful, you could hear a pin drop. The waves, when the tide was in, were a joy to listen to.

Great stone beach , good size great for a walk, dogs are allowed , shame no bonfire permitted. Nice and clean.

The best. Never found it over crowded. Has car parking and facilities adjacent to the beach. 2 minutes to high Street for a great bakers/cafe plus other establishments all good including fish and chips or general store other food outlets. Love it there. Always worth checking the times of tides. Low Tide revealing miles of sand. HI tide will mean you need to move to the top of the pebble beach. Very popular with dog walkers especially at low tide. Enjoy.

By far , my favourite beach, the beach car park is expensive though, especially if you just want to park for 2 or 3 hours as it's £5.00 minimum for hours!

Nice shingle beach on the south coast (sand at low tide). Great pub on the seafront (Aqua Bar) ideal for a few beers and a meal overlooking the beach.

It can get very busy as it's a small seaside village, car park is right next to the beach with toilets, a good place for family, no amusements but has cafes the beach is the place to be

Me and my son was wear cotton T shirts that’s why they did not allow me to swim. Though they were return my money. But I didn’t like it. They called it fun pool but they giving wave too less. Another thing is that they don't allow anyone to take pictures personally, but they take pictures with their own photographer. Maybe they charge for it. I don't know how morally consistent that is. Locker/hair drier use system is to enter 20p. At present, who is traveling around with coin in the pocket? In general,it couldn’t meet my expectations.

Booked a lane swim in the 25m 'gala' pool, which cost £8 per adult, + £1.50 car parking + 20p (non refundable) for a locker. £9.70 is not great value for money when you're getting a 1970s pool which has seen better days. There was quite a bit of debris (broken ear plugs etc) in the pool, and a line of scum around the tiles at the deep end. The boom pool water looked decidedly green! Water temp in the main pool was good. There were 2 lifeguards which seemed attentive and the staff at reception were welcoming. Limited changing cubicles - I think I counted 5, excluding the vintage kiddy cubicles. Showers were warm. Lockers in an odd place after the showers on the way to the pool. I understand that Eastbourne was about to lose this pool, and there are limited options for swimming in the town, but that doesn't give Better a license to charge premium prices for what is currently a sub-par facility.

The Sovereign Centre has always been an important place of fun for both adults and children and has always been greatly appreciated. However, since the management has changed, I have noticed a clear decline in hygiene standards — in the bathrooms, between the tiles, and even inside the pools. The water in the pools, whether in the children’s pool (where little ones are shivering with blue lips) or in the adult pool (where I used to swim but no longer do), has become absolutely cold and unbearable. I truly hope the management reads this message and takes action, because if things continue this way, they risk losing many customers.

We had high hopes that things may be a bit different since the new management however it is just as grotty if not worse. The older blonde receptionist was so rude to all the guests in line and I put it down to her having a bad day, but she ruined our experience before we had even stepped foot into the place. The prices have gone up, which is understandable but we won't be returning which is a shame as we are so local. We really wanted to support it and keep local, however cannot justify going here when the triangle is so much better for less.

Gym has a good selection of equipment and never too busy and clean. The staff are very friendly, the booking app is easy to use and there’s a great variety of classes. However, the gym changing rooms and ladies changing rooms are horrible. They are often dirty with a very strong smell of urine, debris all over the floor and hair all in the shower. There’s also lots of white build up.There's lack of changing rooms as most of them are stupidly short walled ones where you get no privacy. The hairdryers and lockers cost 20p which is a massive inconvenience for make sure you have change which most people don’t carry these days and adds in £8 a month to your membership if you swim 5 times a week.

Used to be amazing but unfortunately since it’s reopened it’s gone massively down hill. They charge an absolute fortune of £10 per adult (£6 child) to only have ONE hour in the pool (another thing they’ve added which doesn’t make sense; what happened to maximum bather load? Can the lifeguards not handle that?!) I used to work as a lifeguard here for a while and came here as a child for a long time, where I could stay in the pool for as long as all day if I wanted too. Such a shame, they’ve personally ruined it. Other than that the facilities are ok at best. Wave machine is the only thing that makes it worth coming.

Generally an ok pool, used to do swim lessons here. Trying to get back to em a couple years later since i have more time now only to find out this random charity has completely overhauled the website in their own style and made it confusing to use. And ditto to that other reviewer about the prices, this is the old sovereign centre not a brand new swimming venue. Stars would be higher if not for the prices and ruined website

A very interesting and nostalgic little Musium. Hosted by delightful knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers. We were lucky to be the only visitors at the time and were given a personal tour! Very enjoyable. Thank you. Gives a comprehensive display of the history of Eastbourne. Complete with a mini cinema.

Wonderful afternoon spent at this very interesting exhibition. Kind, helpful staff. Fascinating historic films showing in the cinema downstairs. The whole centre is full of our lovely town's history. Highly recommend a visit. Saturday only open at the moment.

Surprisingly interesting for a local attraction. Watch the films they made, shown in their own mini cinema. They describe, with pictures, how the streets have changed over time. The rest is a bit sparse but OK. This sign is on the wall next to the stairs.

Very interesting information about the town beautifully presented with a changing display about a feature of Eastbourne, currently the history of the town's railway. Well worth a visit and you get a free return visit within 28 days.

Sadly this museum is closed unless it can find another premises.

Learn about Eastbourne's past by visiting this lovely historic building. Also contains a small gift shop.

Excellent. Friendly and very helpful staff. Film cinema provided the background and feel of Eastbourne. Interesting exhibits elsewhere. Interesting historic building.

I believe summer & beach r perfect for each others x. Eastbourne beach is awesome much better than Brighton plenty of bars, cafes & restaurants at the beach. Love to have a long walk early morning or at sunset time there. Make u feel like ur in heaven. Will b back soon again

Very nice, I was on Friday the 16th of June, and it was amazing. The sunbed is only £2 for the day...well they collect them at 4-4:30 pm. Very easily accessible by train.

This is my hometown.. it is one of the most beautiful beaches and flower gardens along the south east coast, the pier has been rebuilt after a tragic fire.. but is now such a wonderful and beautiful spot to have tea, fish and chips, ice creams, nice seating areas.. also perfect place for photographers looking for that perfect shot of nature at it's best. The beach itself is stone based but when the tide goes out as you can see in my photos you can walk along the sand with the water flowing on your feet, it's just beautiful and peaceful. Theres cafes all along the seafront and kiosks too for ice cream and beach items like rubber rings and even sunglasses! It's also a lovely walk down to the base of beachy head cliffs.. again.. stunning and seen in my photos.. if u have never been and want a stunning surrounding, walks, cafes etc then you must go!! Cant rate this high enough!!!!

Amazing beach front to walk down. The beach is so clean, a true seaside experience, bands playing what more could you ask for 😁

Nice place not the perfect beach, no sand all slightly large gravel uncomfortable to walk or sit on, well maintained, when I visited it was windy cold cloudy day which gave me chills not only from the cold but from general grime atmosphere, would be more lively if there was more people around

Perfect place for relaxing, sunbathing and swimming! Unfortunately I couldn't find changing rooms

Nice pier but better in summer Interesting experiment with new planting of gardens but it lacks any specimen plants.

My daughter had her birthday party here today. The new owners are absolutely lovely and were so helpful welcoming and patient! There was a wide variety of party food and all the children were happy with what was on offer. Stitch was amazing and was the icing on the cake! Considering how hot it was today and being surrounded by lots of over excited children 😅 there was many children with various additional needs including my child with autism, the staff were patient and kind

Myself and children love this place so much, the staff are friendly beyond words. The improvements taking place are really bringing a new lease of life. The character visits are brilliant with such quality characters even my 8 year old believes they are real. What’s more is I can enjoy a lovely drink whilst it’s still hot as the kids are happily playing. I really look forward to my son’s party here next month, I have no doubt it will be awesome. Hi 5s to all your wonderful team making it such a lovely place to visit.

I am lost for words with how amazing Kiddi city is. My son is a member so we go often and have really got to know the staff, it’s a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I decided to have my son’s 2nd birthday here and WOW, what a party it was. Anna (the owner) was very very accommodating. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough food platters for the adults so Anna whipped up another tray for me. She was really on the ball and I literally had to do nothing. Even all the adults had a great time, sitting, chatting, eating cake & drinking coffee. We had the whole place to ourselves and shut for the public which made it even more special. My Son had an amazing time and so did all his friends. There are so many toys and role play parts, a doctors surgery, a bakery, a cafe, a hair salon, a pets corner and more! I honestly would do it again tomorrow, it was stress free, fun, good music and good vibes! Highly recommended with 5 huge stars!

I’ve been taking my children to kiddicity for a while now. My daughter took part in cooking, messy play, music makers and many more other classes and she loved all of them. My son and daughter have both had birthday parties there and staff did an amazing job with both. They were accommodating to all adults and children who came, they easily made adaptions to food as many children had dietary requirements. Staff were always happy to help adults and children, they all engaged with the children well, it was a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to Amber for leading such a wonderful team!

I was quite disappointed with my visit here. The staff did not come across as very welcoming, which I found surprising for a children’s environment. As someone who works in childcare, I know how important a warm and engaging approach is, but instead I felt quite enclosed and reserved after being “welcomed” in. The play area itself was also underwhelming. Several of the resources were in poor condition, and some looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in some time — which makes me question the cleaning procedures in place. For a space designed for young children, this is something that really should be prioritised. The role play section is clearly meant to be the main attraction, but even this felt limited and could benefit from updating and expanding to create a more enriching experience. With some extra thought and investment, the play opportunities could be much better. Another disappointing aspect was the food options. Alternatives for dietary needs, such as coeliac-friendly choices for children, were very minimal. In this day and age, and especially in a family-focused environment, I would expect more inclusive food options to be available. Overall, I’ve visited other play areas in Eastbourne that not only offer a cleaner, better-maintained, and more stimulating environment but also provide more consideration for dietary needs — all at a lower cost. Sadly, this one did not live up to expectations.

My son had a party invite here , and the staff was constantly telling the kids off , not to throw the balls around in the soft play bit. Constantly watching what the kids was doing , telling them if they carried on she was going to put the soft play away . It was such bad atmosphere. The poor woman who had the party there . 2 of the staff closed the soft play half hour before the party finished because they wanted it tidy before home time . Will never bring my kids here to Sceard to let play with getting told off .

We hosted our daughter's birthday party here and the manager and owner's worked tirelessly to try and resolve some issues with a third party provider for the party. They really went above and beyond and made the party a huge success and extremely memorable. We are really grateful for the team and all they did and would recommend for others to book their party here. Thanks so much Kiddicity!

1/05/25 - visited Cineworld with my daughter and her friend and saw the new lilo and stitch movie. The cinema was clean , the staff were polite , informative and friendly . We arrived early and were allowed to wait in the lobby outside the screen area whilst the staff cleaned inside out screen room from last movie screening. Excellent film would definitely recommend visiting. A cinema where family of all ages can visit subject to choice of movie you're seeing of course . Loved there was a toddler in our screen room and mum was between her seat and the pushchair but other guests didn't mind. It was a lovely time & I will definitely be visiting again 😁.

Love the place, but too expensive. Which is why it's best to go in the week to see a movie, when they do their cheap deals, as its so much cheaper. Which is a pity as the Friday and Saturdays are usually the best days to go, as you don't have work the next day. If the snacks were cheaper I would buy from there, but I prefer save money and to just bring my own stuff. I would say a lot more people would enjoy going out to see a movie if the price was reduced.

Good number of screens. Nice and clean. Decent sized seats and tiered with good views (unless someone really tall is in front!). Always a queue for snacks and drinks though. Friendly staff.

We managed to take advantage of the £1 family films offer a few times this summer - it's been a great activity! A clean and well-appointed cinema with well-staggered seats meaning every seat has a great view 👌

Me and my friend went to the cinema today and unfortunately Andy served us. We are both 15, and didn’t know that a child ticket was for 14 and under, it was not made clear to us anywhere and when we asked for a child ticket he immediately put us down for student without explaining the age ranges for the pricing, and spoke to us with a very blunt and off Standish tone, as if to respond in a way that was retaliation because we weren’t under 14 and didn’t know. He proceeded to tell us that we should’ve booked because it is term time, the way this was said to us was as if we were being told off. But really he should’ve apologised about the situation and recommend another viewing of something else, however we had to ask this as he was very unwilling to be of service to us. I felt that this was completely unprofessional and unhelpful as we could’ve bought a ticket for a different viewing however he just stood there and looked at us with a disapproving stare. If you are management, please consider telling him to be mindful of his tone and improve on his customer service perhaps he would earn more commission if he responded in a more welcoming manner and gave us alternative options as a normal salesman should do.

We go to Eastbourne Cineworld every time we want to see a movie, and have a great experience every time. The staff are always friendly and the screening rooms are always clean. 10/10!

Best cinema experience we've had to date. Always clean. Comfortable seats. Love the retro design of the foyer.

Very beautiful and chill. Has tennis courts, basketball court and skateboard ground.

Always been my favourite park since I was little. Lovely gardens. Lots of places too sit and soak up the sunshine. Tennis courts. 2 lovely cafes. Lots of places too park if you drive and bus stops opposite top entrance if you don't.

This is a lovely park and a great cafe. Lots of wildlife to see

Nice park but could so with a new path and now no public toilets open makes it a difficult place to spend the day with the family, unless you buy something from either cafe, and then you can use their toilets. Plenty of bins for dogs poo and rubbish Or though some people like to leave their rubbish for others to pick up, but on the whole the park is a nice place.

Beautifully kept grounds. Plenty of room for dog walkers. Play ground under trees, so lots of shade. Brilliant cafe The Gingerbread.

Quite a nice park in the Eastbourne area. Plenty of space. A little coffee shop , tennis courts and children's playground. Clean. Lots of space for individuals or families. Well maintained grasses, trees and hedges. Toilet facilities available. Wheelchair accessible Trees and wildlife to enjoy. I noticed an abundance of squirrels and birds on every visit to enjoy whilst relaxing or doing physical activity. Well displayed directions and various entry points with parking available too. Great park for all in the area or to visit. Fabulous cherry trees now in bloom.

Nice park even when is raining! Good place in the park for the family. Nice play ground for the children. Tennis courts skateboard place. Bowling greens. Need to come back to explore more.

A truly charming stop at the end of the hike from Birling Gap into Eastbourne. Helen Garden is beautifully maintained- clean, peaceful, and full of character. It's the kind of place that invites you to pause, breathe, and take it all in. The entrance signage clearly lists available facilities (toilets, seating areas, etc.), which is super helpful for first-timers or hikers coming down from the cliffs. I only popped in briefly to catch a glimpse of the rainbow touching the sea- but what a sight! Definitely worth a linger if you're walking into town.

Lovely place to visit. We normally can park on the street no meters. Lovely view's there's a mini golf.Tea shop.If feeling up for it a healthy walk up to the top off beachehead.Then walk down into the Italian garden's. After down to the sea front for a padle. Cup off coffee at the café at beechehead.

I would have given this 5 Stars because the location is spectacular with stunning views across Eastbourne and the Bay beyond with South Downs and Beachy Head right behind you. The only thing that lets it down is the fact that the cafe is run by the Cadence Cafe group. The menu is severely Limited and the prices compared to the portion sizes are among the highest you could find in this town. My suggestion is to bring your own picnic. There is a freshwater fountain available to provide drinking water for yourselves and your pets.

Lovely lawned area with seating and amazing sea views Lovely walks around flower beds with a little thatched shelter tucked away...Playground for children and toilets and icecream shop in another thatched building...and a immaculate bowling green

Nice gardens with plenty of seats around. There's a bowls area, a cafe, toilets, kids play area & a pitch & putt course. Great views of Eastbourne beach.

A quieter area of the town just below Beachy Head. It has pleasant gardens and an area for running around and, too. You can play putting, bowls and a few other games

Lovely place to go for a drink. With views out to sea ,play area for the little ones and miniature golf for the older.

Had an amazing time at Boom Battle Bar Eastbourne! The atmosphere was brilliant and the games were so much fun. Huge thanks to Callum and Mia for being so friendly, welcoming, and making the experience even better – their energy and customer service were spot on.

Absolutely terrible experience. The food was bland, poorly prepared, and clearly not fresh. The service was just as bad-slow, inattentive, and rude. The staff seemed completely uninterested in helping and acted like serving customers was a burden. On top of everything, the place was shockingly unhygienic: sticky tables, dirty floors, and even the utensils didn't look clean. I honestly regret eating here and would never recommend this place to anyone and not to mention the staff were swearing and acted like they were going to punch me

My partner and I popped in to axe throw today on a Wednesday early afternoom for my birthday we had Sian (sorry probably the incorrect spelling) score for us and give us continuous advice however awful we were (not her advice, our fault!) we had a lot of fun and as we went early on a Wednesday we had a game of shuffleboard as well! Definitely perfect date place. Only a 0 one food as we didn't have any. Wish we caught the other games name as we really enjoyed ourselves!

Was very quiet when we visited on a Monday evening but was greeted by a friendly member of staff. Had a fun game of crazier golf. Did not have time to stay for a drink or try food but can imagine good atmosphere when it is busy

Played shufl board here whilst having a beer. Great fun. Lots of other bar sports to try also. Mini golf, axe throwing, beer pong, pool. The staff were excellent as well and looked after us. Definitely worth a visit if it's your type of thing.

Visited boom battle bar on the 3rd of September at around 10:30pm with my mate. We both went up to the bar and he asked for a pint of cruzcampo which was happily accommodated for by the member of staff behind the bar. I then followed up by asking for a double vodka and orange which seemed to be acknowledged by the same member of staff who began making my drink. I don’t know if he thought I was drunk or not but I clearly saw him put in the glass and only orange juice. When I tasted the drink and couldn’t taste vodka I had my friend try it too who also confirmed that there was no vodka in it as suspected as we both saw the member of staff make the drink without vodka. I then asked for another drink as was refused service with the member of staff stating that even if I showed him my ID he would not serve me an alcoholic drink. Bad experience for my first time visiting and won’t be returning due too the poor customer service I received.

Cam C is an amazing host!! He made our night. We had an excellent night out and will definitely be returning! The axe throwing and Shuffleboard are addictive, the staff are wonderful - really friendly and helpful - and the venue is nice. The table with swings is an awesome touch. You cannot drink before or during axe throwing, so if you plan on consuming alcohol, start with that game first. I'd recommend pre-booking Shuffleboard because it was in use all evening but I think the rest of the games had good availability and we could have waited until the night. It is expensive. With a few games and cocktails for 2, we spent over £250. They only do 'picky' food, so we went elsewhere for dinner and returned later in the evening. My only complaint is that some of the staff NEED cocktail mixing classes. We had a few lovely drinks and a few that were absolutely awful. I paid almost £10 for a mojito that I couldn't drink at all. I didn't complain because the staff really were lovely - they just need further training to work behind the bar. Ladies, press the big red button in the toilets!

Butts Brow, located near Eastbourne in the South Downs National Park, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and rolling hills. It's a fantastic spot for hiking, picnicking, or simply enjoying the fresh air. The well-maintained trails make it ideal for walkers, cyclists, and even horse riders, while the peaceful surroundings provide a perfect escape from the town below. On a clear day, you can see as far as Hastings. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or just looking for a quiet retreat, Butts Brow is a must-visit destination in East Sussex. Perfect place for landscape photography.

Lovely place to do a walk. Although it's now pay to park, 2 machines giving the option of cash or app, neither machine working, so had to use Ring-go. ( but an extra 30p for the privilege) if you don't have apps or space, then what?!

Stunningly breathtaking views both ways! Great woods to trek. My child had great fun taking in mother nature too and as an adult I would have spent all day and night there!

Outstanding area of natural beauty, well worth a visit overlooking Eastbourne

A hub for walking, running, cycling and dog walking. Easy access to the South Downs Way, which has routes all the way to Winchester, Hampshire. Shorter routes are easy to find and follow.

With a local residents pass, parking is free. Always a plus There are walks in every direction with views over Eastbourne to Hastings...and even France on a very clear day In other directions you can see all the way over to Beachy Head, East Dean, Arlington reservoir and North as far as the Heathfield ridge. It's very dog friendly, but there are sheep grazing so best to keep dogs on leads at times.

Cracking spot if you like hiking or dog walking, great for all but very hilly.. A bit of a problem some nights with the young idiots who park up there but overall has stunning views and a spot for radio hobbiests

Went for the Wednesday Open Mic Jam night, the host was fantastic and he made the night really enjoyable, I even had a go myself, it felt like such a welcoming environment, we weren't sure what to do for the evening and stumbled across this on Google, well worth a visit.

Great venue for live music & arts. Friendly atmosphere.

Yet again another amazing event with amazing people. I absolutely love your weekly events such as Olioke (karaoke 🎤), open stage and much more. This is definitely the place to be if you don't know what to do with yourself in Eastbourne.. It also has such a beautiful painted garden out back. My new favorite spot

Loe this place! Amazing atmosphere, garden, great friendly staff, loads of music themed events including: open mic night, karaoke, piano performances, bands etc. The only issue is seating, it is a very small venue and during any of the events getting a seat can be impossible if you don't arrive at least half an hour before it starts.

Wonderful little place to go for a laugh. Music and fun times for all. Great service with some of the nicest people! Love it all

Wonderful local venue with friendly staff, great vibes, music and theatre and community arts at the heart of all it does 🙂

Phenomenal vibe and feel to this hidden gem, came during a Caribbean Kitchen Takeover and the food was to die for!!! Rum punch on entry should be the new standard :)

We booked 4 tickets for my autistic son’s birthday and we had no indications that it was closed at all. The website let us book tickets a few days before and never said that they had been closed for months. We travelled quite far too come and do this experience and my kid was so disappointed and had a melt down when we got there and there were bailiffs letters on the door! I have emailed both emails called plenty of times and messages on instagram and haven’t heard anything back. I would like a refund

I find this place thrilling for children, teenagers and even adults. Its a way of keeping fit while still having fun. The cherry on the cake is the location, which means that there is nearly inexhaustible parking space. Oh did I forget to mention that the parking space is very affordable?

Two adults on a Saturday afternoon... Lots of fun, great service by staff - including super fit 'ninjas' flying around the place and helping the kids. Food and drinks prices were okay (we didn't eat, so can't comment on quality). Free lockers available and plentiful. It's much smaller than the pictures indicate. There are essentially 3 courses - one difficult, one medium, and one for tots - and a bouncy castle. Each course takes 5-10 minutes. We were exhausted and a little bored after about half an hour. I would return though, it was a good experience! However, as much as I love kids, I recommend going on the adults only night on a Thursday if you have none with you. The kids outnumbered the adults about 10-1 and we felt a little out of place. They also expect your help a lot, which I don't mind at all but I feel I have to be careful interacting with other people's kids, especially in such a physical setting. Also, they're far too fit and energetic and made me feel old! 😅

There is disabled access to the seating area. Clean and tidy, faculties all immaculate. Would recommend for the party rooms Aircon or at least a fan. Can become a 'hot box'. Friendly staff, even the ninja, he may show off but happy to help and guide anyone.

Took my daughter and her friend and they absolutely loved it. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were first class. Highly recommend.

My daughter had great fun. She enjoyed visiting the arena. However I believe a drinking water fountain will be very helpful and I personally find the sitting area a bit dark. Also when it's the peak time, there isn't enough space to sit. Otherwise it's great for a family day out. Thank you so much for clean and friendly environment..

The facilities have been upgraded and areas now have more padding. Steps have been added to making it easier for the younger ones to battle the obstacles. The welcoming and friendly nature of the staff. A special mention to Andy whose hospitality was above and beyond. Kids were exhausted and still buzzing when we left. 10/10 would recommend multiple visits!

Really enjoyed my paddle boarding lesson with Josh, he was very personable and provided good tuition. I felt safe in his hands for my first go. Thank you Josh!

The family did a windsurf taster day and it was a good fun, perfect to see if it's for you, we even had ago in the sea....we most definitely be back next summer

Very good service. Had a windsurfing lesson here and would definitely recommend lessons here.

Had a great time at a Paddleboarding lesson with Connor last weekend, super personable, skilful, caring. Absolutely recommend!

Great places to learn and become part of a club that includes windsurfing, paddle boarding, sailing and more. The staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

My daughter came with the guides this evening and it was chaos the staff seamed not much older than the children and stood around chatting. There was little help and bad organisation from the outset. An older gentleman seamed to be in charge ish if that’s what you can call it Could have bee. Organised soo much better

Very professional and helpful staff. Thank you so much for getting my daughter back into loving the sea once again. Various activities throughout the four days, my daughter was nervous about meeting the other kids on the first day, but the staff do some 'get to know each other' icebreaker and hey presto we have great friends by the end of day 1.
