What's On at the Beachy Head Experience

We're currently gearing up to open, but we have some fantastic future exhibitions and events lined up for the centre in future.

Every few months we will update the experience in our temporary exhibition space.

Some of the exhibitions to look forward to include Thunderbirds and TV puppets, Stop motion and animation, The Cold War, and Sussex on Screen.

Sign up for our email newsletters at the bottom of the page to be among the first to know when our new exhibitions will be opening.

Beachy Head 100

2026 to 2029

In 1926 an act of parliament gave Eastbourne Corporation powers to buy the Eastbourne Downland Estate, from Belle Tout, Beachy Head and Holywell on the coast to Willingdon, with the purchase completed in 1929. Since then residents and visitors have enjoyed the benefits of open public access to much of the downland.

We'll be celebrating with a series of special exhibitions and events.
