Dieppe “Several lobbied hard to win the Jerwood Gallery. Hastings won…”

6 7 Hastings famously cultural

Although it only opened in 2012, the Jerwood gallery has already become an emblem of the town’s world class culture. Visually synonymous with the Stade, 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. its 8,000 hand-glazed tiles were carefully chosen to complement the striking net huts. Rowan Moore of the Guardian, identified it as one of the finest examples of architecture in the world, alongside iconic landmarks such as London’s Shard, the China Central Television Headquarters in Beijing and the Louvre Lens in France. In his review of the gallery, Moore described it as “...a beautiful addition to the many juxtapositions – of cliff and sheds, work and distraction, ancient castle and seaside tat – that make this part of the coastline what it is.” Inside, the gallery is home to figurative and abstract works dating from the First World War to the 1960s and contemporary works by artists associated with Jerwood, along with several winners of the Jerwood Painting Prize, including Craigie Aitchison, Maggi Hambling and Prunella Clough. Alongside the gallery you’ll find the Stade Open Space which hosts a number of major public events 3. throughout the year, from music to outdoor theatre. 7. 8. There are also plans to open “Classroom on the Coast” - a centre of excellence for seafood cooking, in the impressive Stade Hall.

10 11 Hastings 6. famously authentic

Hastings is home to Europe’s largest beach- launched fishing fleet, one of the oldest of its kind in the world. A thousand years of hard-earned craft 4. and technique are written into every inch of the little boats that work from the steep Stade shingle beach. When the boats come ashore usually in the late morning, they’re winched up the beach where 1. their catch is unloaded into boxes and taken to the nearby Fishmarket where the fish are sold wholesale. Above the market is Maggie’s, an award-winning fish and chip café with spectacular sea views. Freshly landed fish, smoked fish and seafood can also be bought fresh off the boat from the small sheds that line the Winch Road. Hastings has always been a sustainable fishery and in 2005 was awarded the Marine Stewardship Council’s certified status for Dover Sole, Mackerel and Herring. The traditional netting techniques used by the fishermen are not only a testament to a way of life that has been lost from most parts of the world but also a genuine example of living history. So if you’re tired of everything tasting like it comes 2. 3. 5. 7. 8. from nowhere in particular, why not try something that’s authentically Hastings?

14 15 Hastings 5. famously welcoming

Hastings’ Jack-in-the-Green Festival of Morris Dancing traditionally takes place over the first weekend in May and is renowned for its rough- 4. around-the-edges charm, rowdy swagger and warm heart. Every year, thousands of residents, visitors (and several thousand bikers!) take part in May Day celebrations that are the envy of every other town in the UK. 1. The climactic May Day procession goes further. It makes everybody feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves. A living, breathing throng of dancers, drummers and revellers takes to the streets in a centuries-old tradition that marks the hallowed passage of Spring into Summer. The town is turned into a playground of light and sound and colour, roads are closed and people are united in a glorious green ecstasy that’s unlike anything you will experience anywhere else! Like all the events that take place in our town, the procession is about far more than rituals and spectacle. It’s an open embrace to anybody who wants to express themselves, an invitation to leave the ordinary behind and become part of a unique 2. 3. 6. 7. 8. community. A community that doesn’t care who you are or where you’re from. Only that you are present. And prepared to be painted green! 1. Hastings is home to 2. Hastings Week 3. The St Leonards 4.

18 19 Hastings famously historic

Hastings and 1066 Country are so closely 4. intertwined that it isn’t possible to tell the story of one without that of the other. The 31 mile 1066 Country Walk is, for many people, the best way of discovering the profound connections between Hastings and its surroundings. The route takes 7. you across a rural and coastal landscape that’s rich in ruins, and relics and resonates with the most famous moment in English history. 1. At first glance, the nearby market town of Battle, with its dominant gateway, might not seem to have any connection at all to Hastings, but the 5.
