About our East Sussex news

Latest news on East Sussex, covering Brighton & Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings, South Downs, tourism, transport, local events and coastal updates from this historic English county.

East Sussex, located in South East England, is home to approximately 560,000 residents across its diverse landscape, from the bustling coastal cities of Brighton & Hove and Eastbourne to the historic town of Hastings and the stunning South Downs National Park. The county's economy is driven by tourism, creative industries, and a growing digital sector, particularly in Brighton.

Recent developments in East Sussex focus on sustainable tourism initiatives, coastal defence projects, and transport infrastructure improvements. The county council has implemented new strategies to protect the chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head, while also advancing plans to enhance rail connectivity between coastal towns. Local authorities are actively addressing challenges related to coastal erosion and affordable housing.

The county's vibrant cultural scene thrives with events like the Brighton Festival, the Eastbourne International Airshow, and the Hastings Jack in the Green Festival. Community initiatives across East Sussex celebrate its artistic heritage, from the De La Warr Pavilion's contemporary exhibitions in Bexhill to Lewes' famous Bonfire Night celebrations, which draw thousands of visitors annually.

East Sussex's rich history spans from the Norman Conquest, marked by the pivotal Battle of Hastings in 1066, to its role in Britain's defence during World War II. The county's heritage is preserved in sites like Battle Abbey, Bodiam Castle, and the medieval streets of Rye, while its natural history is showcased along the dramatic coastline and within the South Downs, designated as England's newest national park in 2010.
