Live music in a cozy Eastbourne wine bar — 5–8 short sets from folk to jazz and rock, every 1st & 3rd Wednesday. Free entry, music from 7:30

Open Sessions Live is Eastbourne's live music night with a difference — held at Turkuaz Wine House & Bar, 8 Bolton Road, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Instead of first-come-first-served, each evening pairs five to eight short sets — folk, singer-songwriter, blues, jazz, pop, rock and beyond — arranged so every set flows naturally into the next. Expect a cozy, welcoming Mediterranean wine bar where you can eat and drink well while the music plays — not a concert hall, and all the better for it.

You're part of the night too: the audience votes for the acts they want to hear more of, and each month one performer is named Featured Artist, returning for a longer headline set.

Music from 7:30pm. Free entry (18+).
