Stewart Drew, director and CEO, said: “We are very excited to welcome you back to the Pavilion!

“We are so grateful for the emergency funding from Arts Council England and Rother District Council that allows us to bring back some of the team and reopen the Pavilion, the galleries, the cafe, terrace bar and shop for our visitors this summer.

“Of course, we have had to make a number of changes so that you can enjoy your visit as much as possible whilst still keeping safe, and these may have to change again according to government advice. The opening times will be different and you will have to book your free ticket in advance for general admission. At the moment we have just released tickets for the first two weeks.

“We hope that when you visit us you will also go into Bexhill to support the local shops, cafes and B&Bs and find time to visit Bexhill Museum, which opened last week.

“It is important that we work with our partners to start to reopen the region and boost its economy. Our Coastal Culture Trail partner Towner Eastbourne and our England's Creative Coast partner Turner Contemporary are also reopening next week and you can read here how 1066 Country is ready to welcome visitors in a safe way.

“Thank you for your patience and generosity during this very challenging time. The impact of closure for so long means we still need your support. Spending money in the building or making a donation when you book your free ticket will make a real difference to us.

“We very much look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks.

“Admission to the building is free. We are obliged to keep your contact details for track & trace purposes. General admission ticket does not guarantee a table in the café.”

Opening times: Wednesday to Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday)

You will need to book a timeslot in advance: 10am-12 noon; 12.30-2.30pm; and 3pm-4pm.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
