This coming weekend includes live performances, with music likely to spill from venues along the seafront. For those with younger companions, there are family-focused activities, reflecting the town’s high family-friendly index, and numerous parks to explore.

There’s also a chance to see demonstrations from local emergency services, offering a glimpse into the community’s preparedness.

You can expect opportunities for both indoor activities and enjoying the fresh air. Consider a walk along the promenade, or perhaps take advantage of bus services to explore areas further afield. From lively evenings in the town’s cafes and restaurants, to relaxed daytime activities, this selection is designed to provide a pleasant backdrop to your weekend. Be aware that parking near the beach can be difficult, particularly during peak season and on weekends. The A22 and A27 roads provide access, but Eastbourne has no direct dual-carriageway link to the national motorway network.

Check the listings below for times and venues. Consider utilising the railway, a historic feature of the town, for convenient access.
