Posted on 09 September 2022
Towner Eastbourne is deeply sorry to hear of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Our heartfelt sympathies are with the Royal Family at this time.
Our galleries and cinema will remain open until further notice whilst details of the Queen’s state funeral are confirmed.

This huge artwork was the culmination of a six week project in which viewers of BBC South East Today and listeners of BBC Radios Kent, Sussex and Surrey were invited to send in a photograph of themselves or their friends and relatives for a unique portrait of the Queen to celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. It was unveiled to the public for the first time at Towner Eastbourne in May 2012.
