“The Beer Festivals are a great way of getting everybody together while appreciating produce far and wide, with beer brewed everywhere from Beachy Head to Belgium.

“The Spring and Autumn Beer Festivals have been fantastic for the town and continue to grow in success. Beer and Cider by the Sea is one of the highlights of Eastbourne’s events line-up as crowds gather on the Western Lawns to sample award-winning beer under the sun.

“This year also marks the 15th year of the Autumn Beer Festival so it is sure to be the best one yet!”

With plenty of picnic spots on the Western Lawns and entry for children on selected dates, Beer and Cider by the Sea offers family-friendly fun in the sunshine while the autumn Beer Festival is for adults only and offers pub games, live bands and acoustic sessions.
