More than 140 beers and ciders and a sensational music line-up will return to Eastbourne’s seafront lawns next 15 – 17 May, with festival tickets on sale now.
The annual Beer & Cider by the Sea event will kick off the festival season at the Western Lawns with a wide range of real ales, craft beers, artisan ciders and perries on offer – all carefully selected by CAMRA.
Celebrating producers up and down the country, the show regularly showcases quirky brews, award-winning ales, new collaborations and one-off creations, alongside a lively music programme, ensuring there is something for beer afficionados and music fans alike.
In the festival tent, a music stage will feature a rolling programme of live bands and performers, including larger-than-life tribute act Fat Freddie & The Queens, The Big Kahuna and more acts to be announced.
An array of gins, Pimm’s, Prosecco, wines and cocktails will also be on offer, alongside street food stalls and face painting.
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism & Place, Cllr Jenny Williams said, “Beer & Cider by the Sea is the perfect way to kick off next year’s summer and a great gift idea for Christmas! With sessions regularly selling out in advance, now is the time to start up the group chat and secure those tickets early, so you don’t miss out on the festival of the year!”
