Opportunities For Businesses

The De La Warr Pavilion is a Modernist icon for contemporary arts, situated on the sea-front in Bexhill on Sea.  Following a £9 million refurbishment it has become a key attraction in the area and offers its local and national visitors an incomparable cultural and social experience. The Pavilion features two free art galleries, a 1000 seat auditorium, a design-led shop, a restaurant and café selling food made with locally-sourced ingredients, and balconies and terraces open to everyone.

The Pavilion is unique to this area in that it is both a valuablebusiness and community resource, acting as a magnet to outside investment and attracting over half a million visitors per year.

"The renovation of this building is dazzlingly successful.  As well as being a groundbreaking design and structure of its time, it is now a beautiful twenty-first century venue in a breathtaking position.  The Gallery has all the facilities and accessibility required to serve the local and wider community. "
