The Beacon

The Beacon is a modern shopping centre with excellent access.

Good toilet facilities but the staff seem to man them, which isn’t a problem but allow anyone to use them without a radar key. Again, fine due to hidden disabilities however when I enter after a young couple, I don’t expect to find weed scattered over the sink and the red cord tied up :( The one time I needed the red cord pulled, my assistance dog managed to successfully reach it being a large breed. Someone might not have such a large breed.

The Beacon shopping centre houses Eastbourne’s largest collection of retail outlets under one roof. With an integral multi-storey car park the Beacon has three floors of shops, cafes, restaurants and a multiplex cinema all providing level access for the less able. Shopmobility is a mobility scooter, powerchair and class 1 wheelchair hire facility immediately outside the rear entrance at the eastern end of the centre and alongside the centrally situated accessible toilets is a Changing Place toilet facility.
