and live on Freeview channel 276
TheMakersDirectory.co.uk is an online directory established to help connect buyers directly with around 400 local makers and artists near Eastbourne.
The not-for-profit project was set up in March 2021 using funding from EBC as part of its business support response to Covid.

Hide AdCouncil leader David Tutt said: “The Makers Directory is a fantastic and easy-to-use website for people shopping for locally-made goods ranging from artwork to furniture, jewellery to instruments and much more.
“The project has exceeded all expectations, largely due to the team’s strong connections with the local creative community, and is proving an effective way to support these talented independent traders.”
Businesses receive a free listing to raise their profile and are given access to additional opportunities to support growth.
The council said feedback has been very positive with artist Vicki Disney thanking the team for a fantastic meet-up.
