Bexhill is a town rich in local talent and cultural activity, most notably in the field of music. 2007 saw the exceptionally successful first Bexhill Festival of Music. It included an exciting mix of people from the local community and others from the international music profession and professional singers from the Royal Opera House.

Bexhill Festival of Music - Musical Notes Image Tony Mansi's concept of a Bexhill Festival of Music has evolved as a partnership venture with the De La Warr Pavilion, backed by very generous sponsors.
