Countdown to Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Eastbourne’s town centre will be alive with festive cheers throughout November and December, and there’s plenty going on.

Be sure to check out everything that’s happening at eastbournechristmas.co.uk

Here are the highlights Get your Christmas skates on and head to the Ice Rink at Eastbourne’s Enterprise Centre by the Railway Station. The shopping complex will transform into a family-friendly environment, with a fully covered real ice rink. If you can’t skate – don’t worry, why not hire one of our penguins to transform you into Jane Torvill.

To make sure you are in the festive spirit, all your favourite Christmas songs will be played on speakers throughout the town centre and Little Chelsea shopping area as Elf Radio returns during November and December.

Whilst visiting our rink, why not let the train take the strain and indulge in a glass of mulled wine, cocktail or craft beer from one of the traditional chalets and hospitality venues?

Shops and businesses will be pulling out all the stops to turn Eastbourne into the best destination for festive fun as they take part in the Christmas Window Decoration Competition. Which one will get your winning vote?

Stop off at the Christmas Market, in the town centre from Thursday 16th – Sunday 19th December for lots of stalls, live entertainment and fairground rides. Whether you need to find something for a loved one or just pick up some stocking fillers, there will be plenty of choice. Not to mention stalls selling delicious hot food and festive drinks, including mulled wine, which you can enjoy while soaking up the festive atmosphere.

The town centre, Enterprise Shopping Centre, Victoria Place, Bolton and Langney Road, Cornfield and Little Chelsea shopping areas will be lit up with festive illuminations funded by the European Regional Development Fund via the Welcome Back Fund..

The Victoria Place traders welcome you down to the Victoria Place Christmas market on the 11th and 12th December. Plenty of fun to be had including a Santa’s grotto, festive stalls, live entertainment and Children’s rides – all happening in Victoria Place (Seafront end of Terminus Road) 12pm – 6pm each day.

Bells and tills will be jingling a little later throughout December with late night shopping events.

Note, please check the event website before attending.

Dates can change and events can get cancelled and organisers cannot be held responsible.
