We’re obsessed with Christmas and we absolutely love everything that comes with the festive season. From Christmas movies to Christmas fairs we’re all over it. So here is our list of 5 things to do in Eastbourne this Christmas. We may add to it in the next couple of weeks or do an updated one – so if we feel like we’ve missed an event off, then please do let us know.
Official Christmas Light Switch on in Polegate
Sat – Nov 28th 12pm – 4.30pm
Visit Polegate high street for the Christmas light switch on, a Christmas market, raffle and a santas grotto. The lights will be switched on by Tim Rice-Oxley from Keane.
Coca Cola Christmas Truck Stop
Fri – Dec 18th 12pm – 8pm
We’re excited about this, we don’t know about you. It will be stopping at 152 – 170 Terminus Rd. get your photo take with the truck, drink coca cola and enjoy the festivities.
Little Christmas in Little Chelsea
Fri – Dec 4th 4pm onwards
We absolutely love going to this event every year. If you’re planning on seeing Santa get there early. It was badly organised last year and we queued for over an hour and the kiddo changed his mind after all that waiting in the cold. Other than that, it’s an amazing time with stalls, mulled wine, yummy food and reindeer.
Mesmeric Christmas Fayre
Sat – Dec 12th 1pm – 7pm
Hosted at the International Lawn Tennis Centre. You’ll find Father Christmas, lots of fabulous stalls and Christmas fun. All proceeds from the day will go towards the RNLI lifeboats and the JPK Sussex Project.
Meads Magic
Fri – Nov 27th 2.30pm – 7pm
Another little road shut down for some fabulous Christmas fun. There will be lots of stalls and of course the local shops will also be there. Santa will be making an appearance. Choirs from the locals schools will be performing. There will also be biscuit decorating, which we love.
Eastbourne Bandstand Christmas Market
Wed Dec 9th – Sun Dec 13th 10am – 7pm every day
Eastbourne’s traditional wooden stall Christmas market. There will be lots of Christmas delights from around Europe. Lots of festive food, mulled wine (our fave) and much much more. We’re actually incredibly excited for this one.
