Hastings Seafood and Wine Festival

There are two things I love (well when it comes to food there are lots of things I love), but food and wine festivals really strike a chord with me. You often get to meet the producers face to face and they possess a passion for quality, traceability and delivering great food. I normally can't make the Hastings Seafood and Wine Festival due to work commitments. This year, I'm free!

The 15th and 16th September sees the return of this popular, annual event. Hastings is on the up and I've mentioned some of the local food places to visit in previous posts. Set on the Stade, there are a range of stands and stalls offering delicious local seafood and an array of local and other British wines. The Stade is the perfect setting as its right by the historic Net Huts.

It's not just food, there's live music and street entertainment and I'm told, a lively festival atmosphere, making this an event not to be missed. The festival is centered around The Stade and Rock-a-Nore Road in the heart of the Old Town, although businesses across the whole of Hastings join in with special menus and entertainment.

Hoping for good weather, I'll be there for all the fun of the festival and looking forward to reporting back on what I find.
