The Story of Eastbourne Museum

Bespoke “Pop Up” Museum Showcasing The Story of Eastbourne

‘This new exhibition will lead you on a journey through Eastbourne's History. It may take twists and turns that you don’t expect and there will be some surprises along the way. It is a celebration of storytelling from the people of Eastbourne. A story through their objects, their words, their legacies and even their bones. It is a tale full of mystery, intrigue, faith, fortune, love, war and magic.’

Project and Summary Scope of Works

Working closely alongside Eastbourne council’s museum staff, Trevor Blake Fit Out were tasked with transforming a dilapidated shop into a welcoming and interesting, interactive environment for guests and visitors that incorporated ideas from existing employees and bought them to life to offer a modernised and usable space for visitors.

Precise Scope of Works Carried Out:

• Building bespoke display cabinets and interactive areas for visitors.
• Installing a new suspended ceiling.
• Applying fire rated ceilings to protect the flats above.
• Applying specialist materials to the floor and walls to remedy damp problems.
• Installing kitchen and toilet facilities for staff.
• Installing specialist lighting for display units.
• Installing ceiling mounted heating.
• To supply and install the new shop front.
• To supply and install an automatic security grill.
• To supply and install non-slip flooring.

Through the project works we carried out we were able to assist Eastbourne Borough Council in revamping a tired space into The Story of Eastbourne that now conveys 150,000 years of history to its visitors, guests, schools and pre-booked groups.
