As a general guideline, if a gratuity is not included in a bill then a 10% tip is taken as a sign of good service in a restaurant.

Explore Eastbourne and the Surrounding Area
Eastbourne is set between the English Channel and the South Downs, so there is plenty to explore outside the Dyalog ’26 programme. If you are extending your stay, arriving early, or just have a free afternoon, here are a few local highlights.
Beachy Head
One of Eastbourne’s best-known landmarks, Beachy Head offers dramatic chalk cliffs, sea views, and walking routes across the South Downs. It is a short trip from the town centre and a good choice for anyone who wants to see the coastline at its most impressive.

Eastbourne Seafront and Pier

Herstmonceux Castle
Herstmonceux Castle is a striking moated castle set in the East Sussex countryside. Dating from 1441, it is one of the oldest significant brick buildings still standing in England. The castle estate and gardens make it a good choice for a quieter day out, especially for visitors interested in historic buildings, landscaped grounds, and countryside rather than the coast.

Battle, East Sussex
Battle contains the site of, and is named after, the Battle of Hastings, where William, Duke of Normandy, defeated King Harold II in 1066 and became William I of England. The town grew around Battle Abbey and still has a strong historic character, making it a good option for delegates interested in medieval history and traditional Sussex towns.

Pevensey Castle combines Roman, Norman, medieval, and Second World War history in one site. It began as a Roman Saxon Shore fort, was reoccupied by the Normans in 1066, and later had wartime defences built into its ancient walls. It is now in the care of English Heritage and is open to visitors.
