What's been on in Eastbourne

The last three months of theatre, comedy, music, talks and community events across Eastbourne, newest first.

Our What's on calendar looks ahead. This page looks back: every event we listed in the last three months, once it has happened, with its picture and a link to the organiser's own page. It is a record of how busy the town has been, and a guide to what comes round again: the venues' seasons, and the events that come round every year.

What comes round again

Magnificent Motors: a free show of classic and modern vehicles on the seafront over the May bank holiday weekend.
The Eastbourne Open: international grass-court tennis at Devonshire Park every June, in the run-up to Wimbledon.
Airbourne: Eastbourne's free air show over the seafront every August.

Dates for each year appear in our calendar as soon as the organisers announce them on their own websites.

Looking further back

We keep three months of past events here. For older programmes, the venues and organisers on our What's on page keep their own records, and Eastbourne's library and local history groups are the best place to start for the town's earlier events.

About these listings

Each event was listed on EastbourneGo from the organiser's or venue's own website before it happened. Links go to the organiser's page, which may since have changed or been taken down. Pictures are the organisers' own, served from our server, and we keep three months here. If something was listed wrongly, or you would like a past event taken off, use our contact form.
