East Grinstead Rocks, on Sunday 7 Auguest, brought our summer season of events at East Court to an end for this year. Once again it attracted large crowds who stayed through the afternoon with an estimated 1400 people enjoying themselves on the terraces.

The afternoon was kicked off by East Grinstead  favourites  InChoir whose massed voices always raise the spirits. Then in a new departure for our live events we featured two young and up-coming Indie rock bands, Mile High City and Sweet Revenge. Keep your eyes open for them as their careers continue and you can tell your friends “I first heard them play at East Court!”.

Closing the show and getting the audience to their feet was another East Grinstead favourite band, Euphoria, fronted by the fantastic Terry Sumner. Their one and a half hour set was an amazing way to bring this year’s series of concerts to a rousing conclusion.

Feedback has already been positive, but we are seeking your suggestions for some themes for next year that will continue to attract the crowds to East Court, please let us know as we are soon starting to plan for 2017!

By email please to  towncouncil@eastgrinstead.gov.uk for your suggestions for new acts, music genres and comments in general.

Thanks to all who took part and those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to put these events together.
