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!

Art for Art's Sake...


OK, made of seashells this time, and on the beach-ish, and here all the time! 


And so much more to come, including the 1066 Country Cartoon Festival and a rather exciting looking light show on Saturday, the iy_project based on the Pier, but directed about town! For further information of all events see the Route 1066 website.


Fun, fun, fun... not to mention Arts Festivals!

Root 1066 and Old Town Walk continue...


The Root 1066 Festival of Contemporary Arts continues, of course, until the 16th of October, including the ongoing The Story of Hastings in 66 Objects at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery, and, at various locations, The Flat Pack Castle and I Am A Norman (see website for more details, and details of other events).


Tuesday afternoon also sees the regular free Old Town Guided Walk, meeting up at 2.30pm by the top of the West Hill Lift. See the Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS) website for more details of this and their other guided walks. Although the walk is free, the OHPS, a registered charity, always appreciates donations, many thanks!
