About

This year's Midsummer Fish Festival at The Stade in Hastings will have live music, entertainment and great food for all the family to enjoy. A chance to celebrate summer and the sea.

Enjoy a variety of delicious summer fish dishes from our best local restaurants, along with a range of the best produce the area has to offer. Locally made wine and beer will also be available and the fishermen will be showcasing their skills and their catch.


The Midsummer Fish Fest started in 2014 and has proved a hugely popular event. Originally it was funded by the European Fisheries Fund, through the Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) but that funding has now ended. To allow the festival to continue, we have introduced a small entrance charge of £2 in advance or £3 on the gate, for the whole weekend. Under 18s go free.

Tickets can be purchased in advance from Hastings' Visitor Information Centre at Station Plaza.
