Popped into this museum on a whim. Small, but informative. On three floors. The lower floor has a video on the history of Eastbourne, which is very interesting if you know a little about Eastbourne. Only open weekends.

This heritage centre is located in a lovely and historic building next to Devonshire Park. There are exhibition cases and a cinema showing a number of programmes on a loop that lasts about 2.5 hours. The exhibition cases cover the development of the town and some of the key buildings, tennis, the war, railways..... Allow about 45 minutes to an hour for the exhibits and then as much time as you like for the cinema. The great thing is that your ticket is valid for 28 days so you can split the experience over a number of visits.

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.

Although the museum is very small (the exhibitions can easily be viewed in the space of half an hour), there is a cinema room in the basement, showing videos and documentaries about Eastbourne which is where I spent the majoity of my time during my recent visit. The volunteers are very friendly too.

I came to the Eastbourne Heritage Centre as i heard they had a new exhibition on about the railways .The musuem was very intresting . The Exhibit i had come to see wasnt as big as I was expecting but it was very intresting and I learnt lots about the history of Eastbourne . The staff were polite and the admission was very reasonably priced . Would come back and would recommend it if you can fit it in your schedule as it isnt always open .

The Heritage Centre was recommended to me by a friend. Two very friendly and helpful ladies welcomed us and were pleased to be told that our admission ticket would enable us to return for a further visit within 28 days. In the ground floor room is a model of Eastbourne before it was a seaside resourt. Apparently, it is a purpose built resort design and built by the 7th Earl of Cavendish. The building offers lots of information about the area and the many photos and models give the displays more meaning

This little building with a reasonable entry price has so much information within its displays.
There is a little cinema in the basement and a few floors of exhibits and a little shop with cards and prints at the entrance. Guy who was on the desk was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
This is such a good place to learn about local history. I recommend visiting here.

I visited the heritage centre yesterday with my partner who grew up in Eastbourne and I wanted to learn more about the place I now live in and we both really enjoyed our afternoon there!
I especially liked the cinema in the basement showing the heritage talk from the underground theatre, which was on for an hour!
I’ll be using my reentry to watch the rest of the cinema bits they had on I just ran out of time yesterday!
It’s only open in the winter on Saturdays 10-4 but I suspect this is enough as I don’t think it’s used a lot by many people, this would be such a shame if this closed. So I’ll be genuinely recommending this place to everyone I speak to!

Usual things you expect to find on a seaside resort pier

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.
