A Smugglers Adventure at St Clements Caves

Smugglers Adventure reopens on Saturday 4 February.

An exciting adventure for all the family as you explore the sandstone wonders of St Clements Caves and discover many surprises around every darkened corner.  These acres of caverns conceal Hastings' exhilarating history of smugglers, bootleggers and warring gangs.  They became a tourist attraction in Victorian times and on February 22 1864 they even had a visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales.

In the 17th Century, a couple lived in the caves after being discharged from the town's workhouse for repeated misbehaviour.  This is just one of countless stories to be discovered in the dark depths of the caves.
