1066 Country Marketing is a dynamic public‑private partnership bringing together local authorities, national organisations and brilliant tourism businesses. Our partners include Rother District Council, Wealden District Council, Tourism South East, National Trust and English Heritage, alongside a wide network of membership‑based businesses across Rother, Wealden, Hastings and St Leonards.
We are the official Destination Management Organisation (DMO) for 1066 Country, proudly championing a visitor economy worth £901 million and supporting over 18,000 jobs (Cambridge Model Impact Research, 2025).
Our internationally recognised brand celebrates 378 square miles of extraordinary coast and countryside from Battle, Bexhill, Hastings and Rye, stretching south to Camber, east to Herstmonceux and north to the Kent border.
A Membership That Works for You
We’re a membership organisation working with accommodation, food & drink, attractions, events, transport, media businesses and everyone in between who plays a part in the visitor economy.
From April 2026, our new programme introduces five flexible membership levels, plus an Events Plus listing, giving businesses greater choice over their visibility and marketing support. This refreshed structure is designed to better match members’ goals.
More Promotion Where It Matters
Our new structure puts marketing front and centre, offering increased opportunities to feature across social media posts, both national and international campaigns, blogs and itineraries, monthly newsletters, joint marketing initiatives and much more.
A simpler structure, clearer benefits and more ways to shine - all working together to make 1066 Country an unforgettable destination.
