Hastings: What's On?!?

If you're trying to avoid the Football World Cup (which is likely to be shown in virtually every pub and bar, well, certainly the England match!)...

For people (mostly) younger than me, and following the hugely successful Pier Jam in April, today (Saturday, 13.00-23.00) sees the return that is Pier Jam Hastings - Part Two (facebook). The new owner apparently accepting already arranged events may be held on Hastings Pier, nice one, enjoy!

Back at the Stade and a slightly more tranquil Strictly Stade Saturday for people of all ages, of course (website pdfs)! From 5pm there will be free workshops to help you learn the trade, then from 7pm until 9pm you can enjoy 2 hours of ballroom, salsa and tango dancing! This is a free HBC event held in collaboration with Hastings Salsa and Dance Hastings CIO, so dance the night away and enjoy!

And, my apologies for missing this so far, but the Hastings Beer & Music Festival 2018 is on its last day up at The Oval, off Bohemia Road, again (website). This event is organised by Hastings Round Table, subsequently, is a charity event and, as such, "every single penny raised goes to local good causes." There will be a Family Afternoon with too much on to list, so look at the website, with the gates opening at 11am until 4pm; and from 4.30pm gates reopen for the evening music with 5 live bands (website), if you haven't already bought your tickets, hurry hurry hurry!

I know where I'll be watching the football, and of course there's music on in bars all over town as ever, but, whatever you do today, please enjoy yourselves!
