No Guided Walk, but Coastal Currents continues...

True, no OHPS guided walk of the Old Town today, but there will be a few more guided walks to come: Sunday 14th of October (Battle of Hastings Day) will have guided walks of the Old Town and the Stade, and the day before a Stade Walk (13th, Bonfire) and over the weekend of the Herring Fair (17th and 18th November), there will be Stade Walks on both days (website). So plenty to look forward to still, and...

The 2018 Coastal Currents Arts Festival continues until the end of the month, which includes using the fencing around the site of the public toilets in the town centre, no potential canvas wasted! And there is still no sign of any building or use of this land, I've already suggested an open space, maybe seating for older people waiting at the nearby bus stop, maybe disabled parking, I await with baited breath...

And on Pelham Beach parts of ex-fishing boat, RX320 Rosie Haze, have been reassembled by the artist Nic Acaster (website) and turned into the sculpture Boats & Bones; details of the remaining festival can be seen at the Coastal Currents website.

Coastal Currents Arts Festival: 1-30 September 2018

A new mural painted in town, it's September, so it must be the Hastings & St Leonards Coastal Currents Arts Festival 2018! The festival officially starts today, and continues throughout the month, too much is happening to mention everything here, and at so many venues, so I suggest you peruse the website. Though, I have no doubt you'll notice events as you wander around Hastings & St Leonards during the month...

Also, to help launch the Coastal Currents Arts Festival, from 6pm this evening, Stade Saturdays (website) presents Incubate Showcase Night at the Stade Open Space. Local young musicians will play (admission free) and enhance the evening from the stage; Incubate is supported by the Eggtooth Project, developing and 'hatching' the potential of emerging young talent from the town (website). Enjoy the whole day!
