Eastbourne Beer Festivals are organised by the Eastbourne Borough Council events department as part of the year-round events programme.

If you are interested in trading or entertainment at one of the Eastbourne Beer Festivals, please contact us for more information. 

Tickets for both beer festivals are available online, over the phone by calling 01323 410611 and in person at either Eastbourne or Seaford Tourist Information Centre, or the Seafront Office located at Eastbourne Bandstand.

Tickets are on sale now and some have already sold out, so be sure to be quick to avoid missing out. 

Eastbourne Borough Council's events department work closely with the local CAMRA team to ensure each beer, cider and perry are hand-picked from local suppliers and there's always plenty of variety. 

If you're not a beer lover yourself, we've also got a selection of wines, spirits, and bottled beers, so don't feel like there's not going to be anything to your taste. Each session has entertainment in the form of live bands and pub games, and there's a selection of foods to choose from to suit every pallet.
