Blues Unlimited Magazine

Blues Unlimited Magazine represents a quirky slice of Sussex music history that most visitors to Bexhill-on-Sea will walk straight past without noticing. This isn't a museum in the traditional sense - it's a working publication space dedicated to blues music, housed locally and run by people who genuinely care about the genre rather than turning it into a tourist attraction.

What you'll find here depends entirely on visiting when someone's around to show you. The space functions more as a hub for blues enthusiasts than a formal visitor site, with archives, back issues, and memorabilia from decades of independent publishing. It's the kind of place where you might spend twenty minutes or two hours depending on how deep the conversation goes with whoever's there.

This works best for music historians and serious blues fans rather than casual holidaymakers. If you're the type who'd rather spend an afternoon digging through music magazines than queuing at theme parks, you'll find it worthwhile. Kids would likely get restless within minutes.

Staying at one of the nearby parks - Park Holidays UK is barely a mile away, or Combe Haven if you want something slightly larger - gives you a decent base for exploring Bexhill's seafront and this particular corner of music culture. Ring ahead before visiting, as opening times aren't fixed and access depends on availability. It's free, but that's because it operates on passion rather than footfall.
