Visiting hours at Eastbourne District General Hospital are generally between 11am and 8pm, though some wards (such as maternity, paediatrics and critical care) operate slightly different times, so it is worth checking with the ward before ordering if you have any concerns. Bouquets are normally accepted at the main reception on King's Drive and forwarded internally, which means you do not need to time your order to coincide with visiting hours. Please note that, like many NHS hospitals, some clinical areas at Eastbourne District General Hospital (particularly intensive care, haematology and certain surgical wards) do not permit fresh flowers for infection control reasons. If this applies to the ward you are sending to, we are happy to suggest a lovely alternative such as a plant in a sealed pot, a chocolate gift box or a balloon bouquet.
