Eastbourne Carnival 2023: Theme revealed and registration opens

Eastbourne Carnival will be on May 27 at 2pm. This year, the procession will begin at Fisherman’s Green and end at the Wish Tower slopes. The fun continues with a street party in Victoria Place from 4.30pm–6.30pm. A smaller procession will start at midday from the Enterprise Centre to Victoria Place before the main event at 2pm.

The organisers have announced the theme - Sussex By The Sea.

The main sponsor is Lightning Fibre, and the Birchwood Group and the Enterprise Centre are also back sponsoring the event.

Registration is now open for entrants, volunteers, and sponsors. Entrants will be supported with costume-making and dance workshops once again provided by Cotton Candy and Cherry Dance.

Mina O’Brien, chair of Eastbourne Carnival said: “Last year, our entrants did a superb job of putting on a great carnival for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – and we are very excited to see what the community brings to carnival this year with the new theme. Registration of entrants has already begun, and we invite anyone wishing to participate to do so via the website.”
