Hi, I'm David Ruddle. I've been running thebestof Eastbourne since 2011, helping local people find businesses, events, community organisations and useful information across Eastbourne.
If you're new here, this is a good place to start.
Whether you're looking for something to do, a business recommended by local people, information about the community or simply want to keep up with what's happening in Eastbourne, you'll find plenty to explore.
And if you'd rather have some of the highlights come to you, we've got that covered too.
We regularly bring together some of the latest things happening across Eastbourne, from events and community news to local businesses and useful updates.
Want to see what we've been sharing?
You can also create a free thebestof Eastbourne account and choose the updates you'd like to receive directly in your inbox.
We don't want to overwhelm your inbox. Instead, we bring together a selection of things we think are worth knowing about.
That could include upcoming events, new additions to our Local Guide, community news, recommended businesses, useful local articles and other things happening around Eastbourne.
And if something catches your attention, you can follow the link and find out more on thebestof Eastbourne.
Our Business Guide features local businesses and organisations we work with who care about their reputation and the service they provide.
Many actively collect reviews from their customers, helping you see what local people have to say before deciding who to contact.
You can browse businesses by category or use our Business A-Z if you already know who you're looking for.
Used a fantastic local business that isn't featured? You can also recommend a business to us.
Looking for something to do?
Our What's On guide brings together events taking place across Eastbourne, from live entertainment and community activities to networking, clubs, classes and family events.
Local organisations can also add eligible community events free of charge, helping more people find out what's happening.
There's much more to Eastbourne than businesses and events.
Our Local Guide brings together useful information covering local charities, clubs, community organisations, attractions, activities and other resources.
We're continually improving it, so if you run an eligible charity, club or community organisation that isn't currently included, you can join our Community Guide free of charge.
Recommendations and reviews are an important part of thebestof Eastbourne.
If you've received fantastic service from one of our featured businesses, leaving a review helps other local people make a more confident choice and gives a local business valuable recognition for doing a great job.
We haven't forgotten about you.
We also share regular updates specifically for local business owners, including marketing ideas, opportunities through thebestof Eastbourne and information about Business Boost, our free business networking events.

For now, that can point to the existing Academy resource. If you make your own walkthrough later, we simply replace it.
