Kiosks available to let for new businesses at Bexhill's Grade II Colonnade

The units are on offer via commercial property agents, Dyer & Hobbis.

One kiosk is 186 sq ft in size and available to let for £7,000 per annum.

The other, smaller unit is 73 sq ft and is on offer to rent for £3,000 a year.

On its website, Dyer & Hobbis said: “The Colonnade presents a unique opportunity to secure a prime beachfront location within one of Bexhill’s most distinctive Grade II Listed buildings.

“The Colonnade comprises a furnished restaurant space and a series of smaller kiosk units, offering flexible opportunities for independent operators, boutique traders, or complementary uses. The other spaces have been let with these last two units remaining.”

In July new businesses opened at the Colonnade following major refurbishment works.

Sodastreet, Sweet Bakes by Jade, Pop-Up Bexhill Bar and Bites, Jemz and Di Pola’s ice cream parlour started trading after Rother District Council agreed to new leases in June.

The decision followed extensive refurbishment and repair works that started in October 2025.

A report to the cabinet said the council received 22 expressions of interest for the 11 commercial units.

Expressions of interest included four bids for the main restaurant space.

The future of commercial leases at the Colonnade generated significant public interest last summer.

A petition at the time called on the council to ensure its previous lessees would have the 'right to return' after the renovation work. This petition was signed by more than 4,500 people.

The Colonnade reopened in April.

Rother District Council appointed DBR Southern to carry out the refurbishment works due to water ingress.

The Colonnade was built in 1911 to commemorate the Coronation of George V. It was given Grade II listed status in 2008.
