Events in Eastbourne From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

You can find live music and outdoor activity across Eastbourne this week, with events ranging from intimate performances to community gatherings. The town's seafront lawns and sports parks host regular fitness sessions, including morning yoga on Hastings Avenue Green and evening tai chi by the promenade. These take place within sight of the English Channel, reflecting a long-standing commitment to public access to open space.

Live music continues at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre with tribute shows dedicated to influential 1970s bands, while local artists present experimental work near Hampden Park Library’s car park entrance. Entry is free for all, though some indoor venues require advance booking via the town hall website. Musical offerings include indie rock evenings hosted by Eastbourne Arts Collective and jazz sets held on Saturday nights at a waterside cafe.

Market-style events focus on motoring culture; one such gathering takes place on Sunday afternoon in Western Lawns near the A27 junction, where owners display restored 1950s saloons. The event includes an informal repair clinic open to residents with mechanical interests.
