I didn't make it in the evening!

I didn't make it to the Pier in the evening, though I did take a wander down there in the morning yesterday, and the weather forecast I saw wasn't very good, but Madness were! 

East Sussex Arts Club had their 2016 Exhibition a the Stade, and this continues until Wednesday 25th May (see their website for more details).

The Pier Opening Gala Celebrations!

So, today's the day, the official Grand Opening Gala Celebrations, and it appears all tickets have been sold; see the new website for further details.

So, unless you're lucky enough to have obtained tickets, access to the Pier will not be possible until tomorrow, Sunday, see the website for upcoming events.

And there's the stage, way down towards the end of the Pier, where there will be VIPs, DJs, and Madness, not to mention a 2,500 crowd! The weather forecast appears to be reasonable for most of the day, though, when Madness play, there may just be some rain, though the wind should have dropped by then...

Enjoy the day, whether on the Pier, beach, or elsewhere, happy days!

Fishing on the Pier - NB Barry

First, from their website (FAQs), "The exact opening date of the pier is yet to be confirmed though the pier will be opened in Spring 2016 and a gala celebration of the completion of the works is being planned for Saturday 21st. May." 

For Barry, and the question of fishing from the pier (same webpage).

Will there be fishing on the pier?

"Our CEO Simon Opie has been in conversation with local angling societies to discuss how best to accommodate fishing on the pier. The hope is that we will have special days and times for fishing to happen on the pier." 

Sorry I didn't reply directly to your comment, Barry, but I'm not great with IT, and still haven't worked out how to add 'comments', silly me, but I trust this helps!
