The sessions will be staffed by members of the Eastbourne Eco Action Network and the Eastbourne Climate Coalition, with support from Eastbourne Borough Council.
Each session will showcase five main areas of climate action: energy, transport, food, wildlife, and resources.
They will include eco-themed shopping experiences, advice desks, group chats, and quick-fire talks to share visions for a safer, cleaner, healthier, greener town, and how to get involved with local and national campaigns.

They follow on from a successful sustainability pop-up shop, the E-Hive, that ran for six weeks in The Beacon in the run-up to Christmas 2022.
