The holiday town of Eastbourne is reputed to enjoy more sunshine and dry weather than anywhere else in the UK, thanks to the shelter of the South Downs, the UK's newest National Park. The town is blessed with a range of quality accommodation, from luxury seafront hotels to the humble B&B, almost all of which welcome bowls tours. If you are wanting advice on where to stay we can always put you in touch with hotels recommended by previous tourists.

Eastbourne has six bowling clubs, four of which support two greens, so a tour to Eastbourne need not venture far from base. That said, there are several bowling clubs within 30 minutes’ drive that are keen to welcome tourists. In the unlikely event of inclement weather, Eastbourne has two full sized indoor rinks, either of which I’m sure would welcome a few frustrated bowlers on almost any wet summer afternoon.

After bowling Eastbourne offers the perfect place to relax; you can take in a show at one of the town's theatres, enjoy a bandstand concert or just take a stroll on the seafront and pier. The Sovereign Harbour Marina is always worth a visit should you want to dream and pick out your new "Gin Palace" cruiser in time for your lottery win.

Alternatively, if you crave a bit of culture there is the Towner Contemporary Art Gallery. And we must not forget the Redoubt Fortress and Military Museum, built on the seafront to keep Napoleon at bay and now housing 200 years of history and the largest military collection in the South East.
