Carnival: Tuesday 1st August 2017

Although it hasn't been advertised as such, just as a 'Bike Race' up Crown Lane, what has previously been known as the Jimmy Read Memorial Bike Race, is the culmination of Tuesday's carnival events, starting at 5.30pm. Also in the evening is a 'Blessing of the Animals' at All Saints Church at 6.30pm, and a 'Ghost Walk' starting at Butler's Gap, George Street, at 7.30pm.

Earlier in the day there is an 'Open Day' at Hastings Lifeboat Station (11am to 2pm), a Talk and a Tour, an Open Garden, and a Hot and Cold Buffet Lunch. Plus guided walks: 'Foyles Walk' meets at the Shipwreck Museum, Rock-a-Nore Road, at 1.30pm; 'Original Old Town Walk' meets by the top of the lift on West Hill at 2.30pm; 'Twittens and Cat Creeps Walk' meets at the Shipwreck Museum, 3.15pm.

Carnival Tuesday

Hastings Old Town Carnival keeps on... The weather doesn't look so good early doors, with rain forecast until about 10am, then overcast for the rest of the day (as we all know, probably a few showers too!), but it should be decent enough for the cyclists who will undertake the Jimmy Read Memorial Bike Race in Crown Lane that starts at 5.30pm...

Other of the events today include Entertainment at Reeves Corner from 10am, exhibitions at the Fishermen's Museum, the Stables Theatre and at Hastings History House in Courthouse Street, tours of All Saints Church bell tower, and walks galore, the Architecture of Hill Street and the Croft, Stade Guided Walk, the Twittens and Cat Creeps, Old Town Walk, Foyles Walk and Ghost Walks; see website for full details of these and other events.

And, not to be missed, there is an Open Day at Hastings RNLI Lifeboat Station from 11am until 2pm, enjoy your day, but beware the weather!

6th September - Concert for St Michael's Hospice - PLUS!

A great variety of music tomorrow, at the White Rock Theatre, starting at 3pm (see website). I also have it, on very good authority, that 'real ale', from the local FILO Brewery, is being introduced to the bar this weekend; likely FILO Gold and Crofters Best Bitter. 

    

Also, don't forget that the Lifeboat Open Day is tomorrow as well, you could visit the lifeboat station before going to the White Rock Theatre! See their website.
