We hope you can join us once again at The Grove Theatre, under the Central Library right in the heart of Eastbourne town, for another full evening of genuine ‘across-the-board’ Northern & Rare Soul.
Those of you who have joined us at our previous outings at this fab venue know how special it is to us. There is a great wooden dancefloor and separate break-out area with fully-licensed bar. The location is fantastic, and literally just a 2-minute walk from Eastbourne Railway Station (and main town centre bus stops).
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Mark 'Swifty' Swift as our special guest DJ on this occasion. Mark has been on the scene for many, many years and was one of our very first guests way back in 2004 at Eastbourne Town Hall. That was 22 years ago already!!
Mark promotes and DJs extensively in the West Sussex area in particular, and we're pleased he's agreed once again to cross the boundary back East.
With this being a Bank Holiday weekend we're sure to be busy, so please make sure you pick up your tickets well in advance and avoid any tears and disappointment; just £6 per person.
Entry will be limited to 100 people maximum to ensure it is comfortable for all and make sure there's plenty of dancing space, so head over to the following link to grab yours before they are all gone. To reiterate, at this stage we do not anticipate ANY being made available on the door / on the night.

ACCESSIBILITY
At the present time we regret there isn't an access point to and from the venue that a mobility impaired person can use unaided. Sadly, no thought was given to such provision when buildings like the Central Library, in which the theatre is located, were designed.
This event may include sustained flashing lighting that could affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.
