Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s lead member for tourism and culture, said, “We are delighted to see the return of the Big Wheel to Eastbourne seafront for the spring and summer.
“It’s such a big crowd-pleaser for people of all ages as it offers the most spectacular views of our wonderful town and coastline.
“Residents and visitors alike will enjoy it and it’s another exciting thing to put on the to-do list as Eastbourne gears up for a packed programme of events from this month.”
