A joyful day of celebration of the best of Palestinian culture including food, music, dance, storytelling, handicraft and children's activities. This free, daytime event - from 12 noon till 6pm - will transform the top deck of Hastings pier with stalls selling authentic Palestinian food such as hummus and baba ghanoush wraps, as well as sweet delicacies like baklava and knafeh. There will also be stalls selling hand-embroidered craft such as purses, bags, keffiyeh scarves, wall hangings, olive wood bowls, necklaces, hair clips, brooches, bookmarks and flags. Meanwhile, children's activities and craft will run towards the back end of the top deck.
Throughout the day, there will be a rolling-programme of entertainment including a storyteller, music on the Oud and percussion and a dabke dance show by the Hawiyya dance company. At the end of the day all guests are invited to try dabke dancing for themselves at a special dabke workshop. Palestine on the Pier offers a unique opportunity for all the family to enjoy an immersive day out in the Middle East without ever leaving Hastings!
