About us

De La Warr Pavilion (DLWP) is a pioneering multi-arts centre at the heart of our community in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex since 1935. Last year, we welcomed 372,500 people through our doors to enjoy a broad live music offer, world-class exhibitions and inspiring, free-to-access arts activities for all ages. Our goal is to create a thriving cultural hub in Bexhill-on-Sea, serving local and national/international audiences. Our mission is to put artists and audiences at the centre of what we do to produce innovative cultural programmes; accessible and relevant to all. As a multi-disciplinary organisation opening our doors 364 days a year, we serve many different people from toddlers to those aged 80+ and have various ways to engage our diverse communities - whether they are buying a ticket, participating in an event, browsing an exhibition, hiring a space or having a cup of coffee. DLWP includes two gallery spaces, an auditorium, a studio, a first-floor Café Bar with sea views, and a shop/box office. We know culture has the power to regenerate places and communities. We design ambitious programmes with an inclusive and collaborative approach using art and culture as tools to transform communities, access creativity and develop skills and opportunities. All these programmes are underpinned by our modernist, progressive origins and organisation values - to be bold and inclusive, working with care and compassion to create a healthy and happy community. We regularly hire our facilities to local and national organisations, who often enjoy drinks receptions in our rooftop foyer, overlooking the sea, as well as away day and annual hires for award ceremonies, Christmas parties and conferences. DLWP is not just a building; it’s a cultural, historical treasure and social hub at the heart of its community. Its sleek, innovative design and rich heritage make it a symbol of architectural ingenuity and a focal point for art and culture in East Sussex.
