Join us for a special cafe/bar opening to celebrate Hastings Old Town Carnival! With archive film screenings of silent films featuring Hastings and Bexhill from days gone by. Part of Hastings Old Town Carnival Week 2025.

Seaside Scenes of Hastings film:

This fascinating film of unknown provenance starts with a couple enjoying a day out on Hastings beach. Along with views of the town, we see fishing boats and fishermen, the cliff railway and speedboats. The couple, later joined by other couples, go on boat trips, sit sunbathing in deckchairs and play football on the beach. After a fishing trip, the couples bring back a box of fish and the man jokingly slaps the woman's face with a flatfish. 

Pop in any time during the afternoon from 5pm to enjoy our bar offerings and Hastings from yesteryear!
