The main activities of the day took part at the Beacon shopping centre, where volunteers and charities manned a stand to help raise awareness of the challenges disabled shoppers can face.
A number of businesses also volunteered to take on specific steps to help improve their accessibility, such as Barclays and HSBC, which pledged to receive hearing impairment awareness and British sign language training.
And the clock at Eastbourne Town Hall was lit up in purple in support of the day.
