Learning

We love working with schools and run a great outreach programme as well as school visits to the Story of Eastbourne exhibition. All education resources are tailored to meet the national curriculum using our excellent collections to cover subjects from pre-history to World War II.

We can visit you for talks or interactive sessions about the history of Eastbourne. Using discoveries made recently and objects in our collections as inspiration, find out more about the town we call home.

Each year we undertake archaeological investigations and excavations in the Eastbourne area, examining our rich heritage from ancient Bronze Age Barrows to Victorian rubbish pits. Each project offers volunteers either a chance to get down and dirty in a trench or to get involved with the revealing and slightly less mucky work of finds washing and analysis (or a bit of both).
