Eastbourne Christmas Day concert brings festive cheer to seafront - in pictures

Eastbourne Silver Band performed traditional carols, festive classics and family favourites on Thursday, December 25.

The free event – a long-standing tradition dating back to 1935 – took place at the Wish Tower Slopes this year due to essential winter maintenance works at the Bandstand.

Eastbourne Borough Council’s lead member for tourism & place, Councillor Jenny Williams, said: "It is wonderful to see all generations gathering together to sing and dance, in what is always a joyous occasion.”

The festive fun continued on Boxing Day with Long Man Morris dancers performing on the Wish Tower Slopes from 10.30am to 11.30am.

Eastbourne’s New Year’s Day concert will take place on the Wish Tower Slopes on Thursday, January 1, with ‘celebratory party hits’ from Eastbourne Silver Band.
