Coffin to be carried through streets in Hastings today for Voodoo Festival
Halloween will be celebrated in style in Hastings Old Town when a coffin is carried through the streets in a Mardi Gras style celebration.
People will be dressing up and carrying a coffin through the streets of Hastings Old Town to celebrate Halloween on Saturday (October 31) for the annual Voodoo Fest.
People are invited to don fancy dress and meet at the Lord Nelson pub in the Bourne at 7pm. A procession will set off from the Nelson with New Orleans funeral vibes, led by the Second Line marching band.
It ends at the Albion pub on the sea front where there will be live music and DJ sets at the pub later in the evening.
The lively event has been going for many years now and is put together by the same people who organise the Fat Tuesday Festival in February.
