Christmas Countdown For Eastbourne Festivities

The countdown to Christmas is officially on — with the coming weeks seeing Eastbourne Town Centre transform into a hive of festive activity.

This comprises Christmas shopping events, markets and ice skating among other things.

The star on top of Eastbourne’s Christmas tree, the Lightning Fibre Ice Rink opens from December 1 to January 8.

The real ice rink will be surrounded by the twinkling lights and wooden cabin market stalls of Winterland with a wide selection of gifts available alongside tasty food and drink stalls, the Winterland Bar and at weekends a Santa’s grotto.

With it’s close proximity to the train station, it’s the perfect excuse to leave the car at home and get into the festive spirit with a glass of mulled wine.

Marking the start of the festivities, November 24 will see the big Christmas light switch on from Bankers Corner on Terminus Road.

Featuring an interactive Christmas tree, there will also be a vegan market and craft fair from 10am – 8pm accompanied by children’s rides, with live music from 3pm – 8pm.

Chris Fowler, Customer Services Director at Southern, said:

“It’s great to be the official travel partner for the Christmas Ice Rink in Eastbourne for the second year.

"The Lightning Fibre Ice Rink is right outside of Eastbourne station, making it a great destination to travel to by train.

"Families can benefit from great savings including Kids for £2 and Group Save.”

More information on the Christmas events in Eastbourne is available online.
