Eastbourne has a lot going for it, from a walk past the Victorian pier to the South Downs nearby, and finding a great cafe in The Lanes. But staying on top of what’s happening can be tough. Local Facebook groups are noisy, and Instagram doesn’t always show you what’s good. You can end up missing the events, openings, and moments that make this town worth living in. The City Brief cuts through the noise. Every week, we pick what matters in Eastbourne, the cultural events, local stories, and spots worth your time. No endless scrolling, just the info you need, delivered to your inbox.
