LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
You're never stuck for where to go when you visit Hastings. Below are just a few of the locations that will make you want to visit 1066 Country again and again...
Hastings beach is directly across the road from the apartment. Go to admire the view, catch some sun or simply or take a leisurely stroll along the promenade. Head west to visit the pier or head east to visit the Old Town, both a short walk away...
The Old Town, home of restaurants and attractions such as Underwater World, Stables Theatre and Art Gallery, Fishermen's Museum, East Hill Lift, Shipwreck Heritage Centre, Old Town Hall Museum, the fishermen's huts and Amusement Arcades, plus over 15 pubs!
If the Old Town pubs aren't what you fancy then head into the town centre to sample any of the many high street pubs such as Yates's, Wetherspoon's, French's or Bar Moda. Or perhaps you'd like Walkers Cocktail Bar to try something different if you can handle it! Whatever your taste, you'll be kept entertained with the night-life buzzing late into the night.
Close by, you'll find the White Rock Theatre, Hastings' premier theatre which attracts top talent from across the globe. Featuring a variety of performances including music, comedy, spiritualists, mediums, children's shows, drama, dance, ballet, pantomime plus plenty more.
If shopping is your thing then Priory Meadow Shopping Centre will be right up your street. A short stroll takes you to a great choice of shops including River Island, Next, Burtons, Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, Zavvi, Boots, BHS, M&S, Waterstones, Superdrug, H. Samuel, F. Hinds, Ernest Jones, Robert Dyas, New Look, The Body Shop, Bay Trading Co. plus many more. Just outside the centre you'll find further shops such as Debenhams, Argos, Woolworths and all other shops you'd expect to find, not mention cafés and restaurants! But let's not forget the bars...
For a more peaceful day out you could visit the rural areas of Hastings, some a short walk away, with others a short drive away. Beautiful greenery and floral exhibitions are on show at Alexandra Park just outside of Hastings Town Centre. Quiet walks and relaxing picnics are to be had through miles of park.
There are also fields on Hastings West Hill, where entertainment can also be found at Hastings Castle and the Smuggler's Adventure...
Hastings Castle can be seen seconds from walking out the door of The Sea House. Originally built from wood in 1066, then rebuilt from stone in 1070, some people say that on certain nights the castle appears as it did years ago in all its glory. Do you believe the stories??
These ruins, along with the Victorian cliff railway and Smugglers Caves, make Hastings a seaside town that stands out from the rest, and a fantastic day out for family and friends alike.
On the west hill, you can visit The Smugglers Adventure. Explore acres of caverns, learning of smugglers, bootleggers and gangs of Hastings from the 1800's.
Be warned... there could be a surprise around every corner!
