Your Premier Shopping Destination in Eastbourne
Established in 1981, Enterprise Centre Fine Food Market has evolved from a Victorian engine shed into a vibrant hub for independent businesses. Our journey began with 68 small retail units and has grown to house over 30 diverse stores, eateries, and service providers. We pride ourselves on maintaining the building's historical character while offering modern amenities for our tenants and visitors. Our commitment to community engagement is demonstrated through partnerships with local charities like St Wilfrid's Hospice and The Chaseley Trust. Strategically located adjacent to Eastbourne Station, we provide convenient access to both residents and visitors. The centre's unique atmosphere combines architectural heritage with contemporary retail experiences, featuring a mezzanine floor layout that maximizes usable space.

Our dedicated maintenance team ensures minimal disruption during tenant expansions, maintaining our reputation as a supportive business environment. The Victorian glass roof creates an inviting shopping experience, while our central position between Commercial Rd and Wharf Rd offers excellent connectivity. We actively promote local businesses through curated events and marketing initiatives, fostering a collaborative commercial ecosystem. Our technical infrastructure supports modern business needs while preserving the building's historical integrity.

Some lovely eateries in this building. The computer shop is full of refurbished computers and expert advice and repairs. There are hairdressers, food and grocery shops and some lovely male and female clothing shops. Worth a visit. A one way system seems to work well to avoid too much contact.

Cafe is great and does wonderful food. Comic book shop is evil and must be avoided at all costs, usual a 2nd or 3rd mortgage lol

I was there on a Sunday, so almost all of the shops were closed, with the exception of a cafe and some other smaller niche shops. However, it's a beautiful place, so I could see its wonderful interiors without a person to interrupt my viewing. I went in there to use the toilet, and I found it. It cost, if I remember correctly, 20p to use the toilet. You insert a coin into the machine and then the mechanism causes the door to unlock. On that particular Sunday, the toilets (female) were really, really clean, and the liquid hand soap provided smelled fabulous. It was a very, really good experience

It is a small shopping centre with small stores . But it is important To support local businesses. Do your visit there as much as possible. Nice atmosphere, tasty bakery and food, and handmade /handcrafted items. Fascinating place even just to walk through.
