Eastbourne Bandstand
Latest Reviews
There can be nothing better on a sunny day than to sit in a deckchair and listen to a brass band concert. Especially if you visit Eastbourne on the one week they have a professional band and put on extra afternoon concerts. You can also enjoy evening concerts such as Last Night of the Proms. 1812 with fireworks display and a Big Band Night. However take a blanket in the evening, it can get really chilly.

We went when The Central Band of The Royal British Legion was on, and they were so good we went every afternoon and evening and not one tune repeated. Very reasonable prices

The bandstand is on the sea front. They have a variety of entertainment there. I went to see the 1812 night. This was a 2 hr concert with a finale of 1812 Overture and firework display. The conductor was very entertaining and the music was from movies,tv shows and classical. A very good evening.

Have been to a few Tribute Bands this year (and previous years) and they are great fun - rain or shine! Excellent performances, easy access, good facilities (a little expensive on the drinks but is an outside catering service) and friendly, helpful staff.

Wish we had known about this before as we would have booked up for the tribute show in advance, we arrived too late.

Wednesday evening concerts in summer which ends up with a fireworks show and weekend Tribute Concerts are just great. I have been coming to Eastbourne with my students attending summer English courses for 14 years now and the concerts are great attraction for them.

Combine with a walk along the prom or a drink in one of the on beach cafes. The Bandstand hosts numerous events to suit all audiences. Would recommend.

A very warm Saturday evening, we watched the Buddy Holley tribute at the bandstand. It cost just £7.50 each and we had a really enjoyable couple of hours. The seats are taken very quickly so if you want a good seat - arrive early. Apart from that if you like to dance, that seems to be ok to!

Only walked through with no performance on at the time - but still great to see it! Poster images and old photos gave a sense of the great events that still happen here. May it always be a part of Eastbourne's gracious promanade.

Really fun evening. Just a shame that there are not more people attending and joining in. Band was really good though.

A great setting for a night of entertainment. Wrap up warm as what had been a glorious hot day turned in to a chilly night and had many shivering in their seats. The band had trouble holding on to their music and things were flying around the stage. It was a good sound however regardless of the weather. Well done you guys for performing in what must have been a difficult night.

Every Wednesday there is a performance by local and sometimes international concert bands. It finishes with Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture and a fireworks display. You have to pay to sit on the actual band stand but if you are feeling thrifty, you can either sit on the beach or on the promenade for free and still hear everything and see the fireworks. Would recommend you pay so you can enjoy the acoustics.

Listened to Uckfield band at the bandstand and when the 1812 overture was played, a great selection of fireworks were let off on the beach. It was a wonderful evening, and also no drunks. All the people including the youngsters were well behaved and there to listen to the band. Such a change from other towns.

What an afternoon! I had the pleasure of watching the Police Unity Memorial Band this past Sunday, and what a fantastic band who make an excellent sound. Great selection of music played to an exceptional standard and a hugely enjoyable couple of hours. I will definitely be following these guys from now on. Thank you PUMB!
