Shiny gold saucer brooch from Saxon Eastbourne with spiral decoration around edge

About

Explore tales of buried treasure, dragons guarding golden hoards, gold lost at sea and flashes of gold in nature in the new exhibition at The Beachy Head Story. Gold – The Treasure of a Town opens on 29th April and uncovers some of the treasures from Eastbourne and the surrounding Downland. The exhibition was inspired by a chance find of a golden nugget in the sea 100 years ago and visitors can discover golden words from a medieval book of hours, threads of gold chosen to make the ordinary extraordinary and Saxon treasure buried for more than 1000 years.

FREE ENTRY open daily 10am – 5pm
