GET ready for sirens and spectacular displays this weekend as the 999 Emergency Services event makes its return to Eastbourne.
The popular two-day event takes place on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July, from 11am to 5pm on the Western Lawns, offering a fantastic and completely free day out for all the family.
Visitors of all ages will have the chance to get up close with fire engines, ambulances, police vehicles, coastguard equipment and more, as crews from across the emergency services showcase their life-saving skills and vital work.
This year’s action-packed programme features everything from road traffic collision simulations, where police, fire and ambulance teams work together to ‘rescue’ trapped passengers, to a dramatic chip pan fire demonstration by East Sussex Fire and Rescue.
You’ll also be able to see a drone display, a coastguard rescue mission out at sea, and a police dog display in the arena.
There will also be appearances from East Sussex Fire and Rescue cadets, community first responders, and a wide range of volunteer support services from across the county, giving a real insight into the teamwork behind every emergency response.
The event begins at 11am each day with an opening ceremony, when the emergency services staff parade into the main arena, setting the tone for a weekend full of thrilling demonstrations and inspiring displays of teamwork.
