Wish Tower Open to Visit
The Wish Tower, King Edwards Parade, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 4BY
The Wish Tower Friends have been looking after the Wish Tower (Tower 73) for over 10 years, but are only able to open from time to time. We usually open at very short notice according to the weather, but this year we'll be opening the Tower from 1pm to 4pm on all weekend days, come rain or shine.
We'll also be running more of our very popular architectural tours on Friday 12th and 19th (pre-booking essential). In these tours we'll give you a bit more insight into elements of the Tower's construction and some of the challenges it faces.
The view from the top, alone, is worth the visit but if it's raining, it's a good idea to dress accordingly.
