A survey is online to find out our opinions on how Hastings Castle may be transformed through Hastings Town Deal programme, go to the website if you're interested, but only 1 day left! My apologies, but I've only just seen this myself. Below I've cut & pasted details of this project, and my older blog about the Castle for photographs and history of Hastings Castle, the first stone built Norman castle in Britain...
'Hastings Castle is the only direct link the town has with the battle in 1066 that made us famous around the world.
Although it dominates the seafront and town centre on top of the West Hill, it offers a poor visitor experience, attracting only around 30,000 visitors a year before the pandemic struck. Hastings Castle, the first Norman-built castle in the country, deserves to be a major visitor attraction, it has an amazing story to tell.
We want to improve access to the castle by making the West Hill Lift accessible, provide a new connection between Ladies Parlour and the castle itself and make the visitor experience far better. We also want to make the castle much more educational, of interest to local and visiting students.
As the project is still in its very early stages, we are very interested in hearing people’s views on the kind of development they’d like at the castle, what they’d like to see in the castle and the kind of information provided to visitors.'
