Hastings Old Town Week

During the week events such as concerts, street parties, charity races and Morris Dancing take place.

As a parting gift the Old Town organisers were allowed to title the Carnival Queen "Miss Hastings".

The Bike Race is another race where the entrant has to ride up the steepest road in the Old Town, using a Butchers Bike in the quickest time possible, without taking their buttocks off the saddle.

This event is undertaken in memory of a local fisherman who died during the Great Storm of 1987.

Other events include the pram race, Best Dressed Window Competition, the High Street party, various eating competitions, a Gurning championship and the concluding Carnival Procession.
