new multi million pound venue for Eastbourne

A new purpose built multi-million pound venue is coming to Eastbourne. Launching on Saturday 18th November Funktion Rooms is billing itself as; "a cutting edge, multi-room, multi-faceted music venue offering premier nights in an environment that is second to none".

	"Eastbourne is becoming an incredibly desirable location to live and the town is crying out for a quality entertainment establishment" (Rob Jackson, London club operator)

The venue, ran by London club operator Rob Jackson, cost £2.7 million and is has an unusual design, linking together three clubs in one, able to function either as one complete space or as individual clubs independent of each other.

Each club includes it’s own toilets, DJ booth, cloakroom and bars allowing for events of all sizes, styles and vibes. The top club ‘The Penthouse’ has a capacity of 200 and includes VIP booths, table service, and ‘exquisite’ furnishings. The 400 capacity ‘Gallery’ has a mezzanine balcony overlooking the main floor, high level podiums for dancers and a DJ booth that sits high above the crowd. Finally, the 130 capacity 'Sub Club' is an underground club with raw brickword, low ceilings and an intimate dance space.
