Welcome to Eastbourne, officially the sunniest place in the UK. If you're studying at our Eastbourne campus, you're in for a treat.
It's about a mile away from the town centre and even closer to the seafront
But what are the best places to check out? Allow us to guide you through the
many attractions of Eastbourne.
The Eastbourne Pier has a pretty eventful history
Completed in 1872, the original entrance was swept away by rough storms just five years later.
During the Second World War machine guns were placed on the decking to help
repel the enemy landings and in 1942 an exploding mine caused heavy damage
to the pier and seafront. The weird thing is the mine was actually
attached to the pier by local police who thought it was fitted with a safety
device. Since then it's been victim to two serious fires, the latest in 2014, but
now it's as charming as ever.
Our Eastbourne campus is home to all of our sports students so it's fitting that one
of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the whole UK is held here.
The Eastbourne International. Over the past few years stars such as Andy Murray
Novak Djokovic and Eastbourne's very own Johanna Konta has played here. It's an ace day out
out for anyone, sports fan or not.
The Turner art gallery hosts great shows and celebrates artists from Britain and beyond.
Continuing with culture, Eastbourne is home to not one but four theatres, that host high-profile comedians and
big touring shows. The Winter Gardens, Devonshire Park, the Congress Theatre and
not to forget the Royal Hippodrome, are staples of Eastbourne life
Here we are at the Seven Sisters Country Park: these towering white cliffs are some of the most instantly familiar sights in all of the South Downs and there's a lot of competition.
Hiking across across all these 7 cliffs is tiring, but very rewarding and the views are spectacular.
From stunning scenery to great culture and sport, Eastbourne has a lot to offer we hope you enjoy your time here.
'the sunniest place in UK' awaits you with open arms.
