and live on Freeview channel 276
The Big Wheel, which is the UK’s largest transportable ferris wheel according to Eastbourne Borough Council, returns to the Western Lawns next month.
The 160-feet-tall attraction offers panoramic views of the town, Beachy Head downland and sunny East Sussex coastline. Last year it entertained more than 35,000 passengers, which was a 30 per cent increase on 2021.

Being the largest of its kind in the UK, work will take a few weeks to complete, all subject to weather, and then we anticipate it opening at the beginning of April.”
