COVID-19: Please note The Story of Eastbourne is now closed.
In 2019, Heritage Eastbourne embarked on an exciting endeavour- to tell the history of Eastbourne in a small converted shop.The Story of Eastbourne opened in Terminus Road in February 2019 as a temporary exhibition and heritage hub. Due to close in 2021, the Covid-19 Pandemic resulted in us closing our doors early. However, bolstered by the success of welcoming over 22,000 visitors, we set about creating The Beachy Head Story- a permanent exhibition telling the history and stories of the Eastbourne Downland around Beachy Head.
The now-closed Story of Eastbourne took visitors on a journey of 150,000 years of history through the eyes of the real people who lived it.
