Eastbourne’s Pop Up Park is due to return on July 22, ready for the summer.

The event, which involves closing the seafront end of Terminus Road (Victoria Place) to traffic, allows businesses to spill out into the street, and customers to enjoy some Eastbourne sun whilst shopping, drinking and dining.

The event opens on July 22 and will run for six weeks, closing on September 3, with weekends dedicated to live music and entertainment, to get residents into the summer feel.

"Of course, in the very near future -thanks to the levelling up fund – we will be able to have full pedestrianisation. But – for six weeks during the summer, why not enjoy a bite to eat at Victoria Place, do a bit of shopping, and enjoying the summer sun!”
