      A lot of language students, they're usually there throughout the year, lots of lovely people, the Pirate weekend in July and lots of event. I was once a language student in Hastings and I love the place to bits. I don't have to ask for directions, people are friendly and loving. There's a lady selling fried fresh fish in a bun by the seaside where all the huts are, it's a lovely lunch, and I highly recommend you going there for a bite to eat

    Big events are The Jack in the Green in May, the pirate weekend in July, minor events during the summer holidays, relax at the Goat Ledge opposite St Leonard's Warrior Square, the Bonfire procession in October etc. There was a fire at the arcade, hence why they demolished it, not sure what they're going to build there now. I was a language student in Hastings in 1996-1997 and I also rented my first home there as well

    I suggest you Google Hastings Fat Tuesday, Hastings old town carnival, Hastings pirates weekend and Hastings bonfire. Come and visit another time. The town is colourful and fun. Definitely NOT stuck in the 70s.

    I'd lo e to move back down to Hastings, but I'm worried about the job situation. I've got a shot at a mutual exchange in Kent in the outskirts of London, so for now that might be the best, still easy access to Hastings with the Southern Railway

      There is no job situation. Be prepared to commute to Brighton or London if you live in Hastings. I did it for years and it is much worse there now. Glad I got away but it's nice to visit occasionally.
