Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green 2026

Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green isn't just about the impressive May Day bank holiday procession (above, near the start in Rock-a-Nore Road), no, we will experience much merrymaking, drinking, music and dancing from Friday the 1st of May and over the weekend. The event culminates with Monday's Procession on the 4th of May, starting at the Fishermen's Museum, Rock-a-Nore Road at 10.15, and proceeding through the old town, up All Saints Street, across The Bourne, down High Street, and up Croft Road to an afternoon of entertainment on the West Hill, and the Slaying of the Jack from 16.00. See the website for full details.

Also, expect to hear and see a few motorbikes too, wear green, and enjoy folks!

Clocks Spring Forward at 01.00 Overnight.

Remember to change your clocks before you go to bed tonight, don't worry about mobile phones and computers as they will change automatically, likely flash clocks will too! We will lose an hour between 01.00 and 02.00 in the early hours. Indeed, we will 'time travel' overnight as time moves forward an hour, and in Britain we will no longer be on Greenwich Mean Time!
