Wow just WOW! ✨

Eastbourne Soup last night was incredible, and it was so lovely to see so many familiar faces in the audience.

This felt like a much-needed love letter to Eastbourne - its history, community, volunteers, creativity and the people who quietly work so hard to make things happen.

So much care, talent and effort has gone into every aspect of this production. From the actors and musicians to the writers, directors, stage props, costumes, volunteers and everyone behind the scenes.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved. and especially to for bringing such an uplifting project to life.

If you’re lucky enough to be going today and tonight, you’re in for a treat ❤️
