Baird Court

The core of Bexhill's story sits quietly in Baird Court, a modest historic site that marks where John Logie Baird conducted some of his early television experiments in the 1920s. This is where the Scottish inventor demonstrated the world's first television service to paying customers - a genuinely significant moment in broadcast history, even if the location itself doesn't shout about it.

What you'll find is fairly low-key. It's not a flashy museum with interactive displays and gift shops. Instead, it's the kind of place where history buffs and tech enthusiasts get a genuine kick out of standing where Baird actually worked. If you're into the technical side of things, or you've got teenagers interested in early electronics, it's worth the detour from Bexhill's seafront.

Admission details are thin on the ground, so ring ahead or check locally when you arrive - opening hours aren't well publicised either. Allow 30 to 45 minutes maximum. It's the sort of spot that rewards a quick visit rather than a long afternoon.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Park Holidays UK is closest at just over a mile away - it's an easy addition to a seaside break. Pair it with a proper walk along Bexhill's seafront or a visit to the De La Warr Pavilion if you want a fuller day out. On its own, though, it's more a tick-box for history enthusiasts than a day-trip centrepiece.
