Bexhill Christmas tree curse continues
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
A newly arrived Christmas tree in Bexhill town centre has fallen victim to the high winds that hit the area on Sunday. The tree had only been erected in Devonshire Square and decorated on Friday December 8. Now it is leaning at a rather precarious angle.
The larger tree was erected by Bexhill Town Council in response to an angry backlash that the first tree they provided was too small

A campaign set up by W.Ave Arts Bexhill to provide the town with a Christmas tree in 2024 hit its fundraising target within hours after being launched. Since its launch, on December 1, it has raised almost £1,200.

Christmas parking concessions are available on Saturdays before Christmas at De La Warr, Eversley Road, Manor Barn, Town Hall, Wainwright Road and War Memorial Car Park.
