Bourne into this

Saturday 10 May, 11am

Gather, The Beacon Shopping Centre, Eastbourne

A leisurely one hour walk from the Beacon to Motcombe Gardens, along part of the known course of the Bourne River.  This amble will be accompanied by the verbal ramblings of local lover of history and archaeology, Jonathan Seaman. He will discuss the history of the people and places that once stood along the stream and the now hidden power of nature that currently lies bound by a creaking drainage system just below our feet.  There will be a mix of stories from mills to medieval loos to farms and fierce thunderstorms so if you have an interest in heritage this walk will be perfect for you.

Part of our pop-up shop programme, Submerged: Eastbourne’s Lost Treasures and Eastbourne Spring Water Festival.
