About

Eastbourne Bandstand will be packed again this year as the traditional Christmas and New Year concerts return to the south coast with fantastic festive entertainment and it is all free.

Christmas Day features the Eastbourne Silver Band from 10.30am - 12pm with traditional carols and festive classics.

A popular and long-standing tradition, the concerts began when the Bandstand was first built back in 1935 and have been a regular Christmas attraction ever since. The concerts are organised by Eastbourne Bandstand and always attract large crowds over the three days.

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

Please note capacity will be limited in the main arena on the day, however access to the middle balcony will be unrestricted. 

Bars will be open on both levels featuring hot drinks, mulled wine, alcohol and soft drinks.  Friends of Eastbourne Bandstand receive a 10% discount at the bar.
