We now have two great choices for food and drink at Towner — our new second-floor restaurant, Light, and our ground-floor Cinema Café & Bar.
Restaurant, Second Floor
Light brings a whole new style of dining and socialising to Eastbourne. We've worked with the team from the highly acclaimed Eight Bells in Jevington to reimagine our former café and make the most of its tall ceiling, terrace and skyline views, with new interiors and a horseshoe bar. The name Light reflects the airiness of the new space, as much as its casual, welcoming atmosphere and style of food.
During the day, it offers breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, featuring ‘smørrebrød’ (the indulgent Scandinavian-style open sandwich) and beautifully created, fresh and locally-sourced plates. On Thursdays and Saturdays, it is also open into the evenings, offering a pre-theatre menu, sundowners and dinner.
A number of tables will be available throughout the day without a booking, but you can also view menus and make a reservation at lighttowner.com.
Opening Times
Tuesday to Sunday + Bank Holiday Mondays

Cinema Café & Bar, Ground Floor
Located in the foyer, the Cinema Café & Bar is ideal for a quick pit-stop or to 'grab and go’. We serve barista coffee (from Eastbourne’s much-loved roastery, Nelson), freshly prepared salads, sandwiches and cakes throughout the day, as well as wide range of bar drinks and snacks for the cinema.
Our café area can also be hired for private evening events offering a stylish, versatile and hassle-free venue for celebration events and receptions. Contact us on venuehire@townereastbourne.org.uk for more information.
