Buzz Active Eastbourne is located on the Eastern end of Eastbourne seafront on Royal Parade. The center is opposite Princes Park on the promenade. We have free onsite parking for clients, access to a boating lake in the park for our junior and beginners which is shallow and accessible from all sides making it great for learning, we also use The sea in Eastbourne bay when conditions are suitable.

The center is ideally situated in the relative calm of Eastbourne bay, and we have access to a small boating lake which we use when the sea is too rough, so we can get afloat in virtually all weather conditions. We specialize in activities for juniors and have over 20 years of experience in running RYA accredited courses and tuition as a part of your visit. RYA training can be used to develop young people in areas such as, teamwork, determination, communication, independence, confidence and creativity. All these attributes are linked to a growth mindset. Many aspects of key stage learning outcomes can be met with an RYA training course.

Bede’s pupils have been able to enjoy a variety of activities with Buzz active this year – from stand up paddle boarding at the Cuckmere centre, windsurfing and sailing at Eastbourne, to bush craft, problem solving and orienteering at Bushy Wood as part of a teambuilding day. Whatever the activity the Buzz staff have been professional, skilled and enthusiastic. Bede’s is a school which likes to encourage pupils to discover their interests and Buzz Active have very much enabled us to do this.
