Living on the Edge: 8,000 Years by the Sea - A Guided Tour
The Pavilion, 71 Royal Parade, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 7AQ
Explore the free ‘Living on the Edge’ exhibition by Heritage Eastbourne and the National Trust at The Pavilion in an exclusive tour at 12.30pm, and discover pre-historic artefacts, a sunken U-boat and over 8,000 years of fascinating history based around the South Downs and it's changing landscape.
The notorious Battle of Beachy Head is revealed from the Nine Year’s War in 1690 with recovered ammunition on show, while the exhibition travels further back to Stone Age times with the chance to discover how flint tools are made and see a Mesolithic pick and flint sickle on display.
Budding scientists can even get to grips with dating methods themselves by examining molluscs under a microscope, just one of the interactive activities on offer.
The exhibition is the result of excavations, interviews and painstaking research over the last few years at sites along the Seven Sisters coastline and will be available as an exclusive tour with one of the Heritage Eastbourne’s experts for this year's Heritage Open Days Event.
