The festival was introduced by Hastings Borough Council after the success of the Seafood and Wine Festival, and also the Herring Fair. It's a celebration of local seasonal fish, food and drink producers, and great live music. Tickets cost £2 on the gate (under 18s free), unless you've already managed to purchase a £1 ticket in advance. The event continues today (Sunday) from 11-6.
