THIS year’s Sunshine Carnival in Eastbourne is to be supported again by the town’s Arndale Centre.

The carnival will start at the earlier time of 2pm on Saturday, May 27, and follow its usual route from the Western Lawns to Princes Park.

Arndale Centre manager Bill Plumridge said: “We are really pleased to be involved with the carnival for another year.

“Its growing success and popularity in the town fit perfectly with the centre’s commitment to Eastbourne’s future prosperity.

“This is an exciting year as we see the £85 million extension to the Arndale Centre start to take shape and events like the carnival show how much everyone is determined to make Eastbourne “the” place to visit.”
