Busy busy busy Weekend!

The 2017 Hastings & St Leonards Coastal Currents Arts Festival (website) is now on for the month until the 1st of October. Because there is so much happening, I am providing links to the website, but for what's on today, 2nd September, go to here, and remember, many events are on for many days and/or weekends.

Meanwhile, the Pier nears the end of the school holiday season, and please remember that new opening times start from Monday the 4th (previous blog), but today, Saturday 2nd, from 5pm, is the Hastings Pier Jam Part 2: The Closing Party (website). Also, tomorrow (3rd), linked with the Arts Festival is the private launch of 'Wavelength' by Zeroh (website) in the Pavilion, sign up for an invitation on the website.

Enjoy the weekend!

Hastings Weekend: Pier & Beyond!

After a full weekend with an eclectic mix of music last week, again, areas of the Pier are closed this weekend due to a Pier Jam this Saturday (24th), with 2 outdoor stages and room for 2,500 people to enjoy the DJ talent on display (website); please note that Early Bird tickets are sold out, but Final Release tickets are still available. Also, on the Pier this Sunday, there will be a Wedding Fair from 11.00, and a Wedding Dress Walk, for all those who thought they may never wear their dresses again, starting at 10.00, and in aid of raising funds for St Michael's Hospice (website).

Of course, the Festival of Contemporary Arts, Root 1066, continues with numerous events around town, including The Story of Hastings in 66 Objects at the Museum, I Am A Norman, seven Hastings choirs performing Barefoot Opera/CLASH in the atrium at Sussex Coast College, and the Feast of the Dead at the Stade Hall has its final performance on Sunday evening; see website for full details.

And, if you want to go a bit further afield and partake in some exercise, the annual Sussex Walking Festival starts this weekend, 24th September to 2nd of October 2016, a joint event that is organised by Eastbourne Borough Council and Wealdon District Council. For full details of a wide variety of walks, and variety of difficulty and length, go to the Sussex Walking Festival website.

Whatever you do this weekend, either partaking in these specific events, visiting the beach, castle, aquarium, museums, restaurants, pubs and clubs and music, or whatever, enjoy!
