This year the group is inviting local charities and good causes to get involved by hosting a stall in Terminus Road from 4pm-8pm.
Luke Johnson, operations manager for Your Eastbourne BID, said: “I am delighted that this year Eastbourne’s amazing interactive Christmas tree will be returning to the town on Bankers Corner. Every year we invest over £40,000 in our lighting display, which spans across the town. This year our lights will also coincide with the turning on of Maybug’s spectacular Christmas lights display – after wowing customers and visitors last year.
“We will have a special guest turn on our lights at around 6pm. If you would like to get involved with trading, please do contact our team – [email protected]”
