About

Step into 1066… with a bucket and spade ️⚔️

The legendary Priory Meadow summer beach is BACK this July & August, and this year we're celebrating Hastings' incredible history with a knight-themed twist!

You'll find our giant sand pit in Queens Square, open daily throughout July and August, no need to book. Sit back in a deckchair and relax whilst the little ones dig, build, play and explore.

Plus, we have a summer full of FREE medieval themed family events – stay tuned for details!
