THIS CHRISTMAS LIGHT UP YOUR HOUSE OR BOAT FOR A SOVEREIGN SHINES SPECTACLE IN AID OF THE RNLI

This December Sovereign Harbour will sparkle with Christmas lights – now in its fourth year, Sovereign Shines marks the beginning of the Christmas festivities and organisers want to light up the harbour with bigger and better light displays on boats and houses.

Registration to join in with the light display is now open. Sovereign Harbour residents and boat owners can apply by visiting The Waterfront website or following the below link. http://www.eastbournewaterfront.co.uk/sovereign-shines-2019-application-form

With fantastic prizes to be won including a lift, high pressure wash and launch, lunch at Di Lieto’s Coffee Lounge and other dining out experiences, organisers are asking applicants to go overboard on their Christmas lights and help raise much needed funds for the local RNLI lifeboat.

Moreover, on Friday 13th December, join the crowds at The Waterfront, Sovereign Harbour to celebrate the illuminations. The evening event from 16.00 – 20.00 will feature three local school choirs, Stone Cross School, Shinewater Primary School and Pevensey and Westham CE Primary School and Eastbourne Rock Choir. Plus, real reindeer and an array of Christmas market stalls selling local produce and beautiful gifts.
