Free family festival takes place in Hastings today with live music and entertainment

Since 2010, the free community event has always taken place in St Leonards Gardens but with Hastings Council in the process of selling the Lodge, which has always provided the power for the event, it was decided to switch to a new location at Concordia Hall and garden in Church Road, St Leonards.

The free event takes place on Sunday August 6, from 1pm – 5pm. It has an international flavour in both music and food bringing together performers from across a range of different styles. This year’s performers include the Amber Leafe Band which specialise in ‘world music with original twists’. Polanco, who play Klezmer music, and Hayley Savage The Hastings alt country and folk artist has an album and a couple of EPs under her belt.
