The fourth Frock up Friday Festival from August 30 to September 1, brings together Hastings and St Leonards. This festival is not about following fashion it’s about happiness, friendship, feeling great and having the best time.

This festival is like no other, we bring together our Frocking community from all over the world.

We began as a facebook group during lockdown encouraging people dress up on a Friday and share their photos online. Frocking is now encouraged everyday! We are boldy breaking the bounds of fashion conformity, embodying the spirit of rebellion and creativity, igniting joy with every vibrant frock and free thought.

Our mission is noble ; it's a crusade for mental health, draped in dazzling colors and unique style, rallying others to join our flamboyant parade of fabulosity.
