May Day 2021


Jack in the Green and May Day 2021 appear to not be occurring 'officially', as I said in a blog a couple of months ago, but we are being encouraged to dress up still, just no parade, fair enough! But there will still be stuff online (facebook), and who knows what else may happen... My contact has said that the Bike1066 event is definitely off too, but I have heard rumours that bikers are very likely to turn up and, if not the 30 or 40 thousand that often turn up, there is likely to be more than a few...


So we won't be seeing the famous Jack in the Green procession for a second year running, nor the biking event, but places are open, particularly outside, so whatever, enjoy May Day, whether you support the pagan traditions celebrating the return of Spring and/or International Workers' Day, comrades, or just want a drink! 😉

Please, though, do not forget we are still in a pandemic, so be safe people!

May Day, in the town centre, and on the Pier.


What, with Jack in the Green tomorrow and other May Day fun today, you may be forgiven in not remembering it is also International Workers' Day; though not forgotten by these people in the town centre.


On the way to the Pier, the promenade was quite busy, so "ice cream anyone?"

Busiest day, so far, on Hastings Pier, as people stream through the gates...
