The Dell is an area of open land between the A259 and the clifftop. Peacehaven Town Council describes it as a venue for 'car boot sales, fairs, shows and recreational activities'. In the years before the Second World War there was a cinema on the site but it was destroyed by a fire in 1940 caused by a faulty projector; there were no casualties but the cinema was never rebuilt.
