Yes. Eastbourne District General Hospital is the main acute hospital for East Sussex, and we provide fixed-fare, door-to-door transfers from Hawkhurst for appointments, day surgery and outpatient visits.
Eastbourne is approximately 26–27 miles from Hawkhurst, based on typical routing data, with a drive time of around 39–50 minutes off-peak — typically via the A268 south through Sandhurst and into East Sussex. There's no direct train between Hawkhurst and Eastbourne, so any public transport journey means a bus connection and at least one train change, making a pre-booked taxi the straightforward option whether you're visiting the seafront, Devonshire Park, or attending a hospital appointment.
Eastbourne District General Hospital, on Kings Drive, is the main acute hospital for East Sussex, run by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust and rated "Good" overall by the CQC. A new day surgery unit — the Sussex Surgical Centre, adding four operating theatres — opened there in September 2025, reflecting a growing outpatient catchment that includes rural villages like Hawkhurst with no direct public transport route. If you or a family member has an appointment, day surgery, or an outpatient visit at the DGH, we run a fixed-fare, door-to-door service from Hawkhurst — just let us know your approximate appointment length when you book so we can arrange your return.
The problem: Hawkhurst has no direct public transport route to Eastbourne, which makes getting to a hospital appointment, day surgery, or outpatient visit at the DGH genuinely difficult without a car — especially for anyone who can't drive themselves.
