In 31 pictures: Hastings Seafood Wine And Music Festival

The event, on the Stade Open Space, saw a number of local producers and food outlets showcasing their wares. People were able to take refuge from the rain inside a giant marquee by the lifeboat station that was used as a venue for the live music event over the weekend.

The festival was opened by Hastings Mayor Becca Horn.

On Sunday morning there was a good turn-out for a Jazz Breakfast hosted by local jazz star Liane Carroll.

The event also included an exhibition, in the Stade Hall, on the importance of the sustainable local fishing industry.
