In the women's singles draw, Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart have both received wild card entries.
Boulter clinched her first career WTA title at her home event in Nottingham this month - defeating three fellow Brits en route to the title. Last year, Boulter beat Karolina Pliskova in Eastbourne to bag her first top 10 win, before losing to future champion Petra Kvitova in three-sets.
Joining her is Dart, who has made back-to-back WTA quarter-finals for the first time in her career at the Rothesay Open Nottingham and Rothesay Classic Birmingham.
In the men's draw - Liam Broady will be hoping to pick up some strong results alongside fellow wild cards Ryan Peniston and George Loffhagen. Peniston defeated now world No.6 Holger Rune in Eastbourne last year, while Loffhagen was a quarter-finalist in Nottingham.
In the wheelchair draws - British No.1 Lucy Shuker heads up the home challenge in Eastbourne, alongside rising stars Abbie Breakwell and Ruby Bishop.
Fresh off his Roland Garros quad doubles title, Andy Lapthorne enters as the second seed in the quad draw. He's joined by fellow Brits Greg Slade and Gary Cox.
