Lightening Leisure Limited, together with partners Sea Space, have some really exciting plans for the much loved Marina Pavilion in St Leonards.
This historic building has undergone major refurbishment in order to offer the community a multi-complex venue for weddings, conferences, banquets and events, drawing interest from the local community and further afield. Azur at the Marina Pavilion will also offer a beach front bistro, Mediterranean-style restaurant, and a unique health and beauty suite offering the latest technology and free weekly seminars for the public.
This venture will generate employment, training opportunities and services for the area and will be a much needed venue to help facilitate the growth and regeneration of the St Leonards area.
Azur's Chief Executive, David Thorpe-Tracey says:
"We are excited about making this venture a huge success, and keen to contribute positively to the regeneration of this wonderful area with jobs, increasing trade, building partnerships, and generating interest from other parts of the South East."

Hastings Borough Council's Neighbourhood Renewal team led a month long town wide Big Clean Up operation during February. In partnership with the 1066 Housing Association and our Environmental Services team, they cleared litter, fly tipping, overgrown vegetation and dog fouling at 123 separate addresses.
Some of the long-standing eyesores, which were the bane of local residents' lives, included the clearance of problem areas such as Castledown Terrace, St Mary's Road, Moorhurst Road and Swynford Drive.
