Cabaret Show

The Friends of Eastbourne Seafront are putting on a cabaret night at The Lansdowne Hotel on Thursday 26 November, and it's a bit of a mixed bag in the best way. They've pulled together burlesque, magic and song, with local performers taking the stage rather than a touring act coming in from elsewhere. It's the kind of evening that doesn't stick to one thing for too long—you'll get a burlesque act, then a magic set, then someone singing, and back around again.

Beyond the stage, there's a fundraising raffle with prizes to get stuck into, and the organisers have made it clear that all the proceeds go to charity. So if you're the sort who likes to have a night out and do something useful with your money at the same time, that's a good reason to turn up. It's a local night run by local people, and the money stays in the community.

The whole thing is hosted in The Dukes Room at The Lansdowne Hotel, on Grand Parade in Eastbourne (BN21 4EE). It runs from 7:00pm until 10:00pm, so it's a proper evening's entertainment rather than a quick stop-in. If you're planning to go, it's worth keeping in mind that it's a Thursday night, so you'll be home well before midnight.
