December winter festival at Sovereign Harbour with a real ice rink, a traditional fun fair and a Christmas Market of festive alpine huts.
The Harley-Davidson WinterLand Festival takes over Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne from 1 December, running right through to 31 December. It's a month-long takeover rather than a single weekend, so you've got the whole of December to fit it in.
There are three main things to do. First, there's a real ice rink, which is the anchor of the whole thing. Second, a traditional fun fair. And third, a Christmas Market made up of festive alpine huts selling gifts, seasonal treats and warming refreshments. The huts are the kind of place you stop for a drink and a snack before heading back out into the cold, and they're scattered around the harbour rather than tucked away in one corner.
Beyond those three, the festival runs themed days and special events throughout the month, so what's on changes depending on when you go. If you're planning a trip, it's worth checking the full programme closer to the time to see which days align with your plans.
