Eastbourne is a fast changing town with a growing population as people learn about the quality of life in this beautiful seaside town. It is the ideal size: big enough to have all the facilities you want, small enough to be friendly, secure and easy to get round.

Eastbourne is known for the beauty of the town and its surrounding countryside which attracts more than 4,000,000 international and British visitors every year.  Its sheltered position by the South Downs hills helps to make it the sunniest town in mainland Britain.

The town has a busy calendar of events year round. It hosts the world class AEGON International Tennis Tournament; the Eastbourne Festival; the Extreme Sports Festival; one of Britain’s biggest free airshows  and a very enjoyable beer festival in the autumn. Eastbourne also has an award winning art gallery and five theatres, which have West-End plays and musicals plus concerts all year round.

If you like shopping, you’ll find the high street shops at the Arndale shopping centre and small, quaint streets with designer clothes and antique shop nearby.  All this is in walking distance of LTC.

The beach and the historic Eastbourne pier are popular places, there are traditional pubs, international restaurants, cinemas, clubs and Eastbourne’s vibrant music scene all centred round this area. Also take time to visit the bustling new waterfront with its shops, restaurants and hundreds of yachts.

Eastbourne is famous for its sports; it has grass tennis courts, two golf courses (one next to the school), swimming centres, windsurfing facilities and many other activities.

For magnificent countryside, take the bus to just outside the town and walk on the South Downs hills or visit the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head beauty spots.

Eastbourne has a superb location. Just 90 minutes from the very heart of London by train, two hours from Heathrow and just one hour from Gatwick Airport.

The famous seaside resort of Brighton is 45 minutes away and the historic town of Hastings only 30 minutes.
