A giant observation wheel is returning to the seafront this Easter.
Eastbourne’s Sky Club Wheel will reopen on Saturday, March 28, offering panoramic views along the coast from east of the Redoubt.
Cllr Jenny Williams, Eastbourne Borough Council’s lead member for tourism and place, said: "We’re delighted to welcome back this epic attraction to Eastbourne’s skyline.
"Generating additional footfall to businesses east of the pier, this spectacular wheel also lights up the seafront’s nighttime economy, providing more reasons to stay.
"A real crowd-pleaser for all generations of visitors, the Sky Club is a unique way to experience the incredible views across our stunning coastline."
Passengers will ride in pods holding up to six people.
The wheel will operate daily during the Easter break, with rides from 10am to 9pm.
Outside of holiday periods, it will open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only.

The 36-metre structure will begin construction on March 23.

A pedestrian diversion will be in place throughout the closure.

In Eastbourne, it will offer views stretching from the harbour to the pier and beyond.
Daily operation will resume during the summer holidays until the attraction closes on Sunday, September 6.
