We host events throughout the year with unique themes that transform the iconic Eastbourne Town Hall into fully immersive, high-energy experiences – from Feel-Good Music nights & Aviation Afterparties, to Spooky Halloween and festive Christmas Parties.
Every event features a show-stopping line-up of the South’s top cover bands performing LIVE ON STAGE. Expect full-volume music, dancing, and non-stop energy with crowd-favourite tunes from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond.
