Grand Hotel Eastbourne – Charity Opera Gala

St Wilfrid’s Hospice is an independent charity that supports local communities facing life-changing and terminal illnesses for over 30 years.  Her Majesty The Queen is the President of the charity.  London Festival Opera presented their ‘Opera at the Movies’ programme in the handsome setting of the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne as a fundraising event.  The Grand Hotel dominates the shoreline with its impressive 19th architecture and is like re-visiting a past era of elegant living.  It is regarded as one of the finest of its kind, having welcomed many distinguished guests including Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Arthur Conan Doyle and King Constantine of Greece.
