The two day festival takes place on the Stade Open Space, in the Old Town, tomorrow (Saturday, September 17) and Sunday (September 18).

There is a 1066 theme for this year’s festival, to mark the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. There will even be Saxons showcasing how they cooked and traded in 1066.

People coming in 1066 costume will get a free festival glass.

Cllr Kim Forward the council’s deputy leader and lead member marketing and tourism commented: “The Seafood and Wine Festival has been an annual event in the town’s packed calendar for well over ten years now. It’s grown to become a well-respected, popular event attracting thousands of residents and visitors each year and this year with its 1066 theme it’s sure to attract even more over the two days.”
