Attractions at Beach Life Festival

Kick back... relax...

Visitors can get a taste for an extreme experience of their own, with many activities to try yourself! 

Skating is another huge part of the festival with a freestyle skate park takeover for practicing stunts, and the only outdoor roller derby tournament in Europe which will be back challenging teams across the country!

Skate World and Eastbourne Skating club will be running the slalom tournament including high jump, long jump, battle slalom and speed slalom. Encouraging young skaters to take part and join in with games throughout the day.

Sat 11 & Sun 12 July 

If you prefer to leave the action to the experts, then Beach Life Festival is the perfect event to kick back and chill out at. What better way than with the VW Bus Stop Tour who are back as their colourful VW Camper Vans line the promenade bringing an authentic surfer's paradise to Eastbourne beach!

Try it out!

Eastbourne Roller Derby’s 2-day event will operate from not one spot, but two: Fisherman’s Green tennis court and the cage next door. This gives ERD the exciting opportunity to attract a wider audience from within the skating world, therefore increasing the visitor numbers to the beautiful town of Eastbourne.

On Saturday we have two tournaments running alongside each other on the main track in the tennis courts, the eastbourne women will be facing three south east teams and the Eastbourne men will be playing two teams. Next door in the smaller cage we have junior skaters taking part in their own tournament.

On Sunday on the main track we will run a number of fun mixed games, expect to see some showboating and revisiting of friendly rivalries.

Eastbourne Extreme is Europe’s only outdoor roller derby event and has always drawn a substantial crowd. Skaters, referees, non-skating officials and supporters from around the world will congregate in Eastbourne.

A travelling traditional funfair attracting both locals and tourists.

With a broad range of attractions, there is something for everyone! With one flat fee, you can ride as many rides as you like!
