The Beachy Head Experience, located at the former Beachy Head Story venue, is a new exhibition that has opened following a lease agreement between Eastbourne Borough Council and Animazing CIC. The attraction aims to provide a year-round visitor experience.
The new attraction promises a reimagined visitor experience, mixing technology, hand-crafted models, and hands-on interactive exhibits with the natural surroundings. The permanent exhibition, 'Lighthouses, Landscapes & Legends', will explore the history of the cliffs and lighthouses. Visitors can witness the formation of the white cliffs through a four-metre-long computer-generated model and learn about the two famous lighthouses and Cold War secrets beneath the headland.
An innovative digital trails app is also available to guide visitors into the South Downs National Park and the newly-formed Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve. A unique feature is the green screen video studio, allowing visitors to experience flight over the lighthouses without leaving the ground, with a free video memento provided.
“"We’re so excited to be bringing this brand-new fully interactive educational experience to life at Beachy Head and we look forward to meeting visitors from East Sussex and across the globe very soon."
Admission costs £10 per adult, with a £6 charge for under 18s. Under 3s and carers enter for free. Further information is available at www.beachyheadexperience.co.uk.
