Post Christmas blues - hie you to the Old Town!

Boxing Day fun in the Old Town

AN afternoon of fun is in store in the Old Town, this Boxing Day.
From 12.30pm the four Hastings Morris teams will be Morris dancing at Winkle Island, followed by a mummer’s play.
Afterwards, a human fox hunt will play out through the streets of the Old Town, then at around 3pm, organised by the Hastings Bonfire Society, will be the Fifth International Spronkers Championship, at The Stag, in All Saints Street. Think conkers, but with sprouts.

And thanks to the FILO for a GREAT Christmas quiz and to the lovbely girl at The Electric Palace who made our experience at The Holly & the Ivy so enjoyable - my forst visit but won't be my last!

December

No walk scheduled for December. Next outing will be in January - Church in the Wood, more on this anon.

Lots going on in Hastings this month.

Currently part of the vampire film, Byzantium, is being made here, presumably the filing we saw at Camber Sands was also part of this/

.

Then there's loads more:

8th December - Sound Waves, All Saints, forgotten Carols & other Christmas songs

10th December - OHPS Christmas Social (members & by invitation only)

10th December - Carols in All Saints

11th December - Old Town Victorian Christmas Event

15th December - Old Town Late Night Christmas Shopping

16th December - Christmas Carols at the Fishermen.s Museum

17th December - Christmas Concert in St Mary's = Hastings Philharmonic Choir

18th December, FILO Christmas Pub Quiz

and for those of you who missed Liane Carroll last Sunday at St Mary's, what can I say? It was a triumph.

Or if you're far away, Hastings stars briefly, but significantly, in The Stone Summons, which you can order online in hard copy, or on Kindle, and cuddle up with a good read.

"This review is from: The Stone Summons (Kindle Edition)

I have already read this several times (I have a printed copy too) and each time find something new. It is a children's book but you find yourself transported ito their world and caring about them. The characterization is strong and the book is hard to put down as the story leads you on and you want to know what happens next. Sequel please!"
