Sports Festival, Carnival Procession, Beach BBQ and open air cinema! What a Saturday!

Sports Festival LogoThis Saturday May 25th is a fun packed rolling day! Join us at the Hampden Park Sports Centre from 2-3pm for a 1 hour skating workshop – and it’s only a pound!

BOOKING ESSENTIAL – just call the Hampden Park Sports Centre and book in. If you require skate hire, get there early!

Carnival SkatingNext up… is the Carnival Procession and the skaters from the Eastbourne Edge Hockey Club, Bourne Bombshells Roller Derby, Eastbourne Skating Club and SK8school will all be there.

We’re meeting at the Cage from 3pm and joining the procession at 4pm. If you are planning on joining the BBQ and Cinema part of the evening later, leave your food/drink/BBQs with the organisers at the cage, so you don’t need to carry them all through the processions! This finishes at the wish tower at 6ish. We then skate back down the seafront to the car park at fort fun for…

BBQ Skate1The Beach BBQ and Open Air Cinema. You need to bring your own food and drink. A disposable BBQ would be a good idea, but not essential as there should be enough of the larger BBQ’s available to go round…

Obviously like the Carnival procession this portion of the event is weather dependant, especially the Open Air Cinema BBQ Skate2part of the event, which will require low wind speeds! (And fairly dark conditions, so will be towards the later part of the evening, certainly after Dusk).

One final thing… due to good old Health and Safety Laws… we can’t provide food (even free), or cook it for you! You have to take responsibility for your own food preparation, cooking etc.

PLEASE NOTE : As a result of all this excitement there is no Roller Disco at Hampden Park this weekend, Battle and Hastings are unaffected.
