On Boxing Day, the Criminal Records will bring festive party hits from 11am to 12.30pm. The band will return on New Year’s Day from 11am to 12.30pm, this time joined by singer Joel White, for more party hits and celebrations – including the annual Bandstand conga.

All concerts are free with standing room-only and no ticket required, although you can make donations online to support running costs.

Bars on both levels will be open with hot drinks, mulled wine and more.

On-street parking charges don’t apply on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, according to VisitEastbourne.
