The Eastbourne Festival - Arts and Culture 2015 will be taking place over three weeks from 4 - 26 July 2015, including three weekends, rather than at Easter. 

The Eastbourne Festival now attracts participation and interest at regional, national and international level, enabling all strands of the arts from whatever part of the town to be drawn together once a year, to promote their work with others including local, regional, national and international professionals, to network with other associations from within the town and outside it, and to further expertise by participating in a variety of performance and visual arts workshops.

The Festival is a blend of different kinds of dance and music, of theatre, storytelling, poetry, art exhibitions and workshops, together with over thirty Artists’ Open Houses; a showcase for local professional and amateur talent.
