August bank holiday weekend: Activities at Eastbourne pop-up park

The pop-up park in Victoria Place opened in July its final day will be August 30, lining up nicely with the end of the bank holiday weekend.

It involves the road being pedestrianised with plenty of picnic benches and deckchairs out for people to enjoy everything local businesses have to offer.

CEO of Your Eastbourne BID Stephen Holt said: “So far, we’ve welcomed thousands to the pop-up park, to enjoy the summer atmosphere and some great food and local music.

“This weekend, we are focusing on the family vibe – with free activities to keep you amused during the bank holiday."
