Two popular Hastings events cancelled

The Seafood and Wine Festival, scheduled for September 19 and 20, will no longer go ahead.

Nor will the classic, car classic motorbike and classic commercial vehicles event planned for Hastings Week, in October.

Both events have been cancelled due to the restrictions in place as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

They join a whole host of events that have been cancelled this year for the same reason.

A spokesman for Hastings Borough Council said: “We are committed to keeping Covid rates low in Hastings. Although a lot of work had gone in to planning these events, and they are very popular with local residents and visitors, it is with a very heavy heart that we have cancelled them for this year.”
