Airbourne: Eastbourne Chamber Lunch Returns for Another Spectacular Day at The View Hotel

 

The Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce Airbourne Lunch returns to The View Hotel on Eastbourne seafront on Thursday 14 August, with Lightning Fibre sponsoring the popular event for the fifth consecutive year.

 

The best seats in the house

Taking off on the opening day of Airbourne, the annual lunch combines networking, fundraising and spectacular views of the flying displays from one of the best vantage points in town. As aircraft take to the skies above Eastbourne's coastline, guests can enjoy a unique afternoon overlooking the action while catching up with fellow members of the local business community and entertaining their guests.

This Chamber Lunch is an incredibly popular business event and places always sell out quicklyl

Anyone wishing to attend can find further details and book tickets through the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce events page. The lunch welcomes members and non-members with a drink on arrival and three-course afternoon meal.

 

A highlight of the Eastbourne calendar

Taking place during one of Eastbourne's busiest weekends of the year, the Chamber Lunch offers a unique opportunity to experience Airbourne from one of the best vantage points on the seafront.

The event attracts business owners, professionals, community organisations and Chamber members, creating a relaxed environment for making new connections and strengthening existing ones.

For many attendees, it has become a regular part of Airbourne week and a chance to enjoy one of the town's most popular annual events from a different perspective.

 

Community spirit takes flight

The Chamber Lunch is about more than networking and enjoying the airshow.

Over the past few years, the event has raised more than £2,000 annually for charities including Defiant Sports, UCEP and WOLO, helping support important work both locally and further afield.

This charitable element has become an important part of the event and reflects the strong community that sits at the heart of the Chamber Lunch.

 

Back in formation

Lightning Fibre has proudly supported the Airbourne Lunch since 2021, helping the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce continue an event that brings together the local business community while raising funds for good causes.

Emma Pearce, Head of Marketing at Lightning Fibre, said:

"The Chamber Airbourne Lunch is very popular and a fantastic opportunity for networking, entertaining guests and team outings. We're delighted to continue supporting an event that celebrates Eastbourne's business community while helping raise money for charity."
