Eastbourne has been voted one of the UK’s most dog friendly destinations for a second year running.
The national Dog Friendly Awards, organised by Dog Friendly magazine, recognises the venues, towns and cities that offer outstanding levels of service and the best welcome for dogs and their owners.
Held at the Kennel Club’s Headquarters in London, Eastbourne was this year presented with a silver award for the UK’s most dog friendly town or city, after winning bronze in 2023.
The award was collected by Karey Whitmore - author of Eastbourne’s Dog Friendly Guide – who attended the awards with her dog Scamp, on behalf of VisitEastbourne.
Collecting the award from actress and presenter Debbie Arnold, Karey said “This is such great news for Eastbourne.
Not only is it the sunniest place in the UK but it really is one of the most dog friendly towns too.
“With so many dog friendly places to stay, places to eat, shop and nearby dog friendly venues to explore, there would never be a need to leave doggie behind.
"Plus, with four miles of glorious promenade and the South Downs on our doorstep, going for walkies is always a joy!”
Eastbourne celebrated its first ever Dog Friendly Award last year, following a series of partnership work between VisitEastbourne, Karey Whitmore, the Friends of Eastbourne Seafront, and the Chatsworth Hotel, which resulted in a new Dog Friendly Guide, venue recognition scheme and dog friendly events.
