WHAT FROM THE PAST MATTERS TO YOU?

We're listening!

What makes Hastings & St Leonards special? We’re creating a plan that will highlight what matters to local people and how we can work together to save and celebrate the best bits from the local past.  

Heritage is not just the old buildings - it’s also the festivals, the stories, the traditions, and the people that make our town unique. What parts of Hastings’ past do you love and why?

We want to hear what matters from as many people as possible. You can share your thoughts and ideas at a listening base or listening session, or fill out the form on this page. If you would like to stay in contact, please leave your name and email address. You can see a copy of our privacy policy and how we store your data here. 

What matters to you?

We are setting up ‘listening bases’ around Hastings and St Leonards, and organising other listening events as well as inviting people to share their thoughts on this page. We want to find the shared priorities about what matters to people about the past in Hastings to create a Shared Heritage Action Plan for Everyone.

There are currently bases set up at London Trader (4-7 East Beach St, Hastings), Bullet Café (38 Robertson Street, Hastings), and Holy Trinity Church (Robertson Street, Hastings), with more to follow!

We’ll also be at Priory Meadow all day on Saturday 29th March - come and say hello! And we will keep updating this page with more information as we go so do check back or leave your email so we can stay in touch.

Please note: We previously listed the date as 15th March, which is incorrect, we will be there on 29th March.
