There IS an Easter Bunny!

See! There is the Easter Bunny yesterday, with volunteer Richard in close attendance, at the Lifeboat Station. The Easter Bunny was a mine of information, by the way, not to mention holding a basketful of wee chocolate eggs for wee children.

But the day had started earlier for me when it was, quite frankly, persisting down! I'd believed the BBC online weather forecast that there would be no more rain in the day, and how wrong were they?!? But I suddenly remembered, the BBC no longer gets its forecast from the Met Office, but from the American (General Atlantic) owned MetroGroup, well I won't be looking at the BBC website for weather from now on but directly from the Met Office website, as the BBC weather forecast has been terribly inconsistent since Metrogroup took over in early February; it'll be interesting to see which is more consistent! Didn't help aPIERtite on the Pier though (blog).

And, is this a run up to the 2018 Stade Saturdays? From 2 to 10 pm saw the Stade Open Space stage the Hastings Youth Trust's Hastings Easter Festival! Now, I never knew anything about this happening, maybe I'm too old, but it's a shame there wasn't more publicity!

And I ended up walking up All Saints Street to, cheers!

Easter Weekend Fun has already started!

Tomorrow, Saturday 15th April,, 11am to 3pm at Hastings Lifeboat Station, is a fun day for Easter, including an Easter Bonnet competition, Shanty Singing, Refreshments and Cake, Tombola, and more fun... and you can even meet the Easter Bunny! See website. 

But Easter fun has already started today, and continues throughout the weekend, of course, including on Hastings Pier with an Easter Egg Trail and Family Workshops every day and including Monday, in addition to most of the usual events, bars and restaurant (see website), and the Easter Egg Hunt in conjunction with the White Rock Theatre today and tomorrow (see website).

In addition, an Easter Egg Hunt at Hastings Castle tomorrow, Saturday 15th (see website), an Easter Egg Hunt has been ongoing for a while now at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, Bohemia Road, continuing until Sunday (see website), and the Shark Trust Easter Egg Case Hunt Trail and Easter Colouring at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Rock-a-Nore Road (see website), even a friend of mine is having an 'Egg Hunt' in his garden, but he doesn't want me to publicize that, it's for grandchildren! 😉

I'm sure there are many more Easter events, plus music in pubs and bars all over town, indeed, something for everyone, enjoy!

Lifeboat 'Spring Fling'
