Festival by the Lake

About

A one-day festival for all the family in the beautiful surroundings of the Ashburnham estate. Now in its third year, the event aims to raise awareness of the global refugee crisis and to foster a sense of community with refugees who have made a new home in Hastings.

Top jazz musicians Sarah Jane Morris and Gwyneth Herbert are headlining on the stage, alongside Afrobeat band Samaki, Juliet Russell and the Vocal Explosion Choir, Syrian trio Jamal, Alaa & Zahi and more. There will be poets from the Whole Shebang and a special theatre performance by PSYCHEdelight a company who bring together European and refugee actors.

There are creative workshops and activities for all ages, a treasure hunt, tours of the garden and grounds and swimming in the lake.

Bring a picnic or visit one of our delicious food stalls and mobile bar.

The event raises funds for Hastings Supports Refugees and promotes Hastings Community of Sanctuary.
