Excalibre 7.62

Excalibre 7.62 is a firearms and military history gallery just outside Bexhill-on-Sea that takes you straight into the world of guns, ammunition and weaponry through the ages. It's genuinely fascinating if you're into that sort of thing - the collection spans everything from historical pieces to modern military hardware, with proper detail on how these things actually work.

The gallery appeals most to military history enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with a serious interest in engineering and ballistics. If your kids are into that BBC documentary style of learning, they'll find it absorbing rather than just playing with toys. It's the sort of place where you can easily spend two to three hours if you're engaged with the subject matter.

Unfortunately, details on opening hours and admission are thin on the ground, so you'll need to ring ahead or check their website before making the trip from your holiday park. Park Holidays UK is barely a mile away, making it a straightforward afternoon visit if you're staying locally.

Don't expect a flashy visitor experience - this is a serious collector's space, not a theme park. It's worth the detour if you've got genuine interest in military history, but it won't entertain everyone in your group. The nearby parks at Combe Haven and Normans Bay offer easier access than some of the further sites, so it's a decent add-on if you're already in the Bexhill area rather than a reason to base your whole holiday around it.
