We’re excited to share our plans for the capital project with you – our valued audience and supporters.
From Thursday 3 April to Sunday 6 April (10am–5pm), visit our free exhibition of capital project plans in the Rooftop Foyer.
Come and explore an exhibition by architects Haworth Tompkins, showcasing plans and visualisations for the capital project, along with an architectural model of the De La Warr Pavilion.
Throughout the exhibition, members of our team will be available at intervals to answer your questions. We also welcome your feedback, which can be shared via questionnaires during your visit.
Please note, the exhibition will be closed in the morning on Saturday 5 April, for a Members’ Morning event featuring speeches from De La Warr Pavilion senior leaders on the progress of the project. It will reopen at midday.
