Visit Eastbourne Super Bloggers

The day has finally come round for our VisitEastbourne Tweetup! A chance for those who love Eastbourne to come and meet us today between 4pm and 7.30pm at the Winter Garden’s Congress Suite to become a Virtual VisitEastbourne Greeter.

For anyone interested in getting involved send us a tweet on twitter and we look forward to seeing you later on!

The next few months are going to very exciting (and busy) for Visit Eastbourne and we plan to embrace this by getting local people to share their love for the town with visitors to the area.

As part of this, we will be introducing the ‘Super Bloggers’, a team of Eastbourne experts who will be attending all the big events for us and guest blogging about their experiences.

And to start us off will be Rowan. Here’s a quick question and answer session to help you learn a little more about her…

How well would you say you know Eastbourne?

I was born and raised here and moved back in 2010 after fifteen years away - so I'd say I know it pretty well, although it's changed a lot over the years and I am still discovering new things since returning.

Tell us what you love most about the town in 140 characters!

I love the serenity of Eastbourne's seafront, the drama of the Downs and the hours of glorious sunshine that pour over both.

What Eastbourne secret or hidden gem would you share with a visitor?

Motcombe gardens, my local park, is a really tranquil spot that is a bit of a hidden treasure. Most people know about Gildredge Park, which is also lovely, but Motcombe is tucked away in Old Town and mostly frequented by locals.



If you were a tourist for the day, what are your must visits and must dos in Eastbourne?

Breakfast at Central Eating

The Redoubt Fortress

Thayers for an ice cream

Camilla’s second-hand bookshop for a browse

A swim at Holywell beach and a walk over to Falling Sands

Lunch at Love All

Air hockey on the pier

A potter around Seaside Antiques market

Tea and cake at Neate's

Dinner and a pint of Harvey's at the Lamb

And for the quickfire round…
Coast or countryside? Beachy Head - it has both!

Sand or pebbles? Pebbles

Summer or winter? Summer

Past or present? Present

And finally, tell us a little more about yourself!
