One of the best bandstands in the South of England Eastbourne bandstand is a hit for both player…read moreand audience member. There's a full programme of events throughout the season (generally June through September) with something to suit everyone. Whether you like rock bands or brass bands, opera or jazz there'll be something on. You can even go dancing on their R&R/Jive nights! Lazy weekend afternoons can be spent listening to the bands from the pit or, if you're a cheapskate, stand around the railings at the top and listen for free. No concert costs more than £10 though with most just a couple of pounds. There is a licensed bar available in the evenings. As a player, the acoustics are good although the green room is dank and dire and, for bands with over 30 members you'll be a bit squashed! If you're passing by and hear a noise - stop and listen..

We got married at All Saints Chapel just a few months ago, and while the venue itself was…read morebreathtaking and exactly what we were looking for, the management of the venue nearly ruined our big day. From the start, the venue coordinator was difficult to work with, failing to return calls/emails, forgetting details already discussed, and arriving late to meetings we'd driven two hours for. On our big day, he arrived late, causing our entire time schedule to pushed back. He never put out the food we discussed and paid for, played the wrong music as we walked down the aisle, refused to execute parts of the event that were discussed in detail prior to the wedding, and abruptly kicked guests out of the venue 30 minutes earlier than the hire stated. The photos turned out amazing, guests loved the ambiance, and the look was precisely what we envisioned. Sadly, this stunning space is being sabotaged by a manager that clearly belongs in another profession.

We went to play mini golf on a Saturday afternoon. It was a fantastic pirate themed course and as I…read morehavent been mini golfing in ages, such a laugh. There are 18 holes and a great water feature, caves, and pirate ship decoration throughout the course. For £5 it was a bargain because it took over an hour to complete with our group. Glad we arrived early as it did get quite busy behind us. There were a few holes that were a bit run down, one in particular had no fake grass but others were brand new. I am thinking that they may be in the process of redoing them for summer. It didnt effect my terrible golf game one way or the other though. There was a cafe outside with ice cream and drinks, so I had a post golf Magnum and diet pepsi. There is an inside play area which would be great if you had kids for parties. Had a great day out and as it was cheap, will definitely be back.

I must say, their restaurant is actually really nice! I had a hotdog, chips, peas and Coke and boy,…read moredid I enjoy it! Very wholesome chips and lovely sausage inside the bun! I saw a few kids having a lot of fun in the ball pit; so soft play must be great! Personally, I went in the pool outside. It was a lovely day (they had the squirting animal on) and just really enjoyed the visit. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a family day trip. Overall, a great day out!
