Events in Eastbourne From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find live music, creative gatherings, cultural performances, and community meetups across Eastbourne this week. On Wednesday evening, emerging artists present their work at The Pines Community Centre. A spoken word night takes place in the railway shed next to Eastbourne Station on Friday, drawing attendees from nearby towns who use regular rail services.

Live theatre returns near Hampden Park with performances of mid-20th-century plays staged at The Old Assembly Rooms, its timbered ceiling still showing marks from 1950s repairs. Music events include a retro rave in the basement hall behind St Mary’s Church on Saturday night and an acoustic dance set during Sunday evening twilight along the seafront promenade.

Weekend programming includes wellness workshops hosted at Eastbourne Park, open to all ages and focused on mindfulness amid seasonal changes. Creative meetups continue through paint-and-drink sessions held monthly at venues across town, including The Book Barn café on Lancing Road. Family-inclusive events are scheduled for Saturday morning at the community centre near Station Approach, offering hands-on activities linked with local history.
