Who We Are – Eastbourne Shop Local

What is Eastbourne Shop Local?

Eastbourne Shop Local is more than just an initiative—it’s a movement dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and promoting everything that makes our Great British seaside town special. We believe in the power of shopping local, championing independent businesses, and making it easier for residents and visitors to discover the very best of Eastbourne. Whether you’re searching for the best places to eat, shop, or explore, we’re here to connect you with the heart of our town.
