Bexhill-on-Sea’s venues reflect a town shaped by its position on the south coast and its development as a Victorian and Edwardian resort. The spirit of the place is evident in buildings ranging from the elegant Sackville Building and the modernist lines of the De La Warr Pavilion, to spaces repurposed for modern use. These are places that hold echoes of the town’s history, a legacy visible in the architecture and atmosphere of local spaces. Consider the historic Sackville Hotel, a landmark on De La Warr Parade, or the enduring appeal of King George V Colonnade.
Across the town, you’ll find character that varies between neighbourhoods. In the De La Warr Pavilion Area, a focus on arts and culture defines many locations, with the renowned De La Warr Pavilion at its centre. Further afield, in Old Town, the historic streets hold establishments within buildings marked by coastal life, and nearby Manor Gardens offers a peaceful experience with the ruins of Bexhill Manor House. The Seafront Promenade provides scenic walks with views of Beachy Head. Even areas like Normans Bay, a charming hamlet, have spaces that speak to the town’s connections to the sea and its past. Explore the area’s history at the Museum of Costume and Social History within Old Town Manor Gardens.
