and live on Freeview channel 276
Condé Nast Traveller (CN Traveller) praised Eastbourne in its ‘The 13 Best Places to Go in the U.K. in 2023’ article - which was published towards the end of November.
In the article says: “In the last few years, Eastbourne has brushed off its erstwhile sleepy image to emerge as the latest up-coming coastal hotspot to watch. And nothing signals the of-the-moment creative buzz here more than Towner Eastbourne, a major player on the local gallery scene. It will celebrate its centenary with Towner 100 – a year of exhibitions that includes a summer show dedicated to Barbara Hepworth and, from September, the Turner Prize (it’s the first time the contemporary art award has been held in Sussex).”

CN Traveller said the full heat and cold-water therapy circuit includes alternate sweating sessions with quick dips in the sea.
The magazine added: "While regular visitors might be familiar with long-established events such as the annual Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis tournament (known as a warm-up for Wimbledon) and Airbourne, a spectacular air show where the likes of the Red Arrows soar high above the seafront in a two-mile display, there are also newer, sillier additions to the calendar too – as witnessed in the increasingly popular Soapbox Race. The third iteration will see competitors once again create their own homemade soapbox racing karts and take on a downhill course navigating tight corners, ramps and hay bales around the town.”
Recently Time Out also labelled Eastbourne as the best place in the UK to visit on a day or overnight trip in 2023. A number of Eastbourne business including Beanzz Coffee and Kitchen, Dew Drop Inn and The Stage Door were praised by Time Out.
