Visitors can explore a wide range of emergency response vehicles up close, including police cars, fire engines, ambulances, lifeboats, and specialist rescue units. Throughout the weekend, representatives from multiple services will be on hand to share insights into their roles, equipment, and real-life emergency response.
Organised by Sussex Police and supported by East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, South East Coast Ambulance Service, HM Coastguard, RNLI, British Transport Police, Network Rail, and Eastbourne Borough Council, the event highlights the dedication, skill, and coordination behind emergency response across the region.
Perfect for families, aspiring emergency service professionals, and anyone curious about how these essential services operate, the 999 Weekend is both educational and inspiring — and a firm favourite in Eastbourne’s events calendar.
