A Fresh Start For The Beachy Head Experience With Help From Brewers

October 28th, 2026

When Paul Young from Animazing approached Brewers for support with an exciting new project at Beachy Head, we were only too happy to get involved.

Supporting Animazing

Our relationship with interactive exhibits company Animazing goes back to 2017, when Brewers donated paint for their sets and exhibits. Almost a decade later, we're delighted to be supporting their biggest project yet – transforming a former visitor attraction into the brand-new Beachy Head Experience.

On a blustery October afternoon, we headed to Beachy Head to see the transformation for ourselves and catch up with Paul about his plans for the space.

A new chapter for Beachy Head

When the council-run Beachy Head Story closed in 2024, it presented a great opportunity for Animazing to give the space a new lease of life.

‘We've always been looking for a permanent space where we could create interactive experiences for families and local people’, Paul explains.

‘Originally, I was looking for somewhere to host our children's television exhibitions, but when this space became available, I realised it needed to remain focused on Beachy Head and its history.’

The new Lighthouses, Landscapes & Legends exhibition brings the area's fascinating history to life through hands-on displays, digital walking trails and quizzes. Visitors can even take a virtual flight over Beachy Head in the green screen studio!

The attraction also features a tourist information service, shop and community space available for meetings, workshops and temporary exhibitions.

A splash of colour with Brewers

To help give the space a new lease of life, Brewers Eastbourne supported Paul with a donation of paint and decorating supplies, helping him choose everything needed for the job.

Albany Scrubbable Matt was chosen for the walls, providing a durable, washable finish that's ideal for a busy tourist attraction. With plenty of visitors expected, the paint will help keep the walls looking their best, even with everyday scuffs and marks.

And Paul's delighted with the results so far!

‘You can already see the difference it's made to the two walls we've painted so far and the front panel.

‘We've had our logo and colour scheme in mind almost from day one, so it's been really nice to start bringing that vision to life. The colours were inspired by the sea and sky, reflecting the surroundings here at Beachy Head.

‘We've carried that colour scheme through into the reception area, and we're planning to continue it into the Darby Room and the front of the building."

For a not-for-profit organisation like Animazing, donations from local businesses make a real difference.

‘Donations of products are especially helpful because they're exactly what we need to get the space ready. The paint has helped us cover the old branding, brighten up the space and start making it feel like our own."

At Brewers, we're proud to support projects that bring communities together, and it's wonderful to see the transformation taking shape.

Visit the Beachy Head Experience

The best way to support this exciting new attraction is to visit! Animazing is also looking for volunteers to help run the centre. Paul says: ‘It's probably one of the most fantastic places you could volunteer. The view from the window is amazing! Even on a windy, cloudy day like today, the view makes it a wonderful place to be.’

Opening hours: Daily, 10am–4pm until 1st November, then Friday–Sunday, 10am–4pm from 6th November.

Admission: Adults £10, children aged 3–17 £6, with free entry for under 3s and carers.
