Fight The Post
Christmas Blues in Eastbourne
Happy New Year from all at
visiteastbourne! Don’t worry, there’s plenty to do over the next couple of
months to fight those post Christmas blues.
If you’re still feeling
festive, there is still time to catch the Panto; Aladdin at the Devonshire Park
Theatre until 12 January! Tickets start from £12 with two performances a day!
If you are looking for
something a little more tranquil, why not join the Eastbourne Astronomical
Society at the Redoubt Fortress for some stargazing! The free event takes place
Saturday 11 January, 8 March and 5 April. It provides an opportunity for
beginners to become familiar with the night sky, learn the constellation
patterns, locate hard to find star clusters, nebulae and galaxies and to
explore the surface of the Moon and planets under the guidance of experiences
observers – as well as for informal discussion and the exchange of ideas.
For those who want to
indulge in some culture, award winning art museum Towner opens its new exhibition
on 25 January, running until 6 April. The exhibition; John Skoog: Redoubt is
free and incorporates works with film and video. Until then, visit Towner to
see the Wonderland exhibition.
For history buffs, the
Eastbourne Ancestors exhibition comes to the Pavilion on 1 February. This
groundbreaking project has scientifically studied the human bones from the
collection, made some amazing discoveries about your ancestors and is now ready
to tell you their stories.
To bring history to life,
experts have even recreated some of these people so that you can gaze into the
faces of the past.
The free exhibition will
put the flesh on the bones of people from Eastbourne’s distant past and will
give back a little life story to those long passed.
What about a night of
laughter with the Screaming Blue Murder comedy club on 7 February at the Winter
Garden. Enjoy some fantastic entertainment from Rob Heeney who has been dubbed
as a ‘deluded genius’ by Johnny Vegas, Jessica Fostekew who performed on
Stephen K Amos’ Radio 4 show, BBC Breakfast and supported Micky Flanagan, and
Elis James a bilingual stand up performer! Food and drinks are available to
make an enjoyable night out.
