Hastings Seafood and Wine Festival

Fish fresh off the boat and world-class wines reel in the crowds. Hastings, of course, had a history well before 1066 ever happened, and the famous Stade Beach is part of it.

Used to land boats since Saxon times, it’s now home to a thriving fishing fleet and the centre of the town’s Seafood and Wine Festival.

This September event – which also features live music, cookery demos and kids’ activities – is a great opportunity to sample the best of both. September // Hastings
