Stade Saturdays is back for another summer season of music and performance and
twists and turns on Hastings seafront in 2014.
The Stade Open Space is on the seafront in the heart of Hastings Old Town, nestling
beside the award-winning Jerwood Art Gallery (definitely worth a visit in its own
right), the traditional beach-launched fishing fleet and our iconic ‘net shops’.
Season three begins a little later than previous years but still provides an exciting
mix of cultural goodies from dance to new circus, from folk to classical and from
Latin to African. And that’s not forgetting food and fish in all shapes and sizes.
While regular annual events like the Hastings Shanty Festival and the Gilded Hand
Buskers’ Fair return, there is also a rich blend of the best of ‘unplugged’ music and
outdoor performance on offer.
Once again Stade Saturdays will offer something for everyone including
opportunities for you the public to participate by performing on the Eight Foot
Square Day or as part of the Sunday Jive Live, both in August.
Watch out for this last, as technically it’s a Stade Sunday rather than a Saturday,
with an array of dance workshops and live music from all over the world as part of
the Hastings and Rother three-day Journeys Dance Festival.
Other than this, most of the Stade Saturdays events start at 7.30pm but check out
the myriad of Hastings summer festivals and events that are also on or near the
Stade such as the Seafood and Wine Festival, the Fish Fest, the Old Town Carnival
and Hastings’ own inimitable Bonfire Night.
However it is styled, whether “Shoreditch on Sea” or “the most musical borough
in the UK”, the truth is that if you love music, food and performance, Hastings is the
place to be on Saturdays in the summer.
In the words of the immortal bard - “Play on, give me excess of it”!
Councillor Peter Chowney
Lead Member for Regeneration
Hastings Borough Council.

Mid Summer Fish Fest
Hastings Midsummer Fish Fest is a
new, free event that will build on the
success of the Herring Fairs. Stall
holders will promote and sell local
produce and of course seasonal fish. It
will be a community affair where all can
celebrate mid-summer; however, if the
weather is not on our side, the event
will be undercover.
There will be demonstrations by local
fishermen and two photographic
exhibitions. The festival will also
feature musical entertainment, street
performance and children’s activities. It
coincides with the summer solstice so
will remain open throughout Saturday
evening with a lantern procession and
firework display.
There will be plenty to enjoy, do, eat
and drink!

THE COAT FOR A BOAT
How do you knit a coat for a boat? That
question was first answered in 2009
when, led by acclaimed textile artist,
Ingrid Wagner, a group of knitters in
South Shields came together to design
and knit enough sails, and maritime
equipment to swathe a 20ft coble from
fore to aft, before being launched on
the River Tyne. The Coat for a Boat!
Exhibition is now being cast off again
and sails into towns as part of Follow

GET UP AND TIE YOUR
FINGERS
Written Ann by Coburn. Vocal score by
Karen Wimhurst
During the 19th century, the ‘herring
lassies’ as they were known, would
follow the herring fishing fleets down
the east coast to meet the catch at
each port of call.
The 1881 Eyemouth Fishing Disaster
was - and still is - the worst fishing
disaster Britain has ever seen. With the
loss of almost twenty ships and 189
men, entire families and communities
were destroyed as the herring lassies
could only stand onshore and watch.
Against this backdrop Get Up And Tie
Your Fingers tells the story of three of
these “lassies” reflecting the culture of
endurance, survival and courage of the
coastal herring fishing communities.
The professional cast will be joined by
members of the Herring Girls, a choir of
local women, lead by Carol Prior.
Follow the Herring is a co-production
by The Customs House and Guild of
Lillians

Hastings Old Town
Carnival
Gilded Hand International
Buskers Fair
“Oyez, oyez. The glove is up. No man
shall be arrested for busking until the
glove is taken down. “
Dating back to the medieval period the
Gilded Hand allowed for impromptu
performances and fairs to take place
on common land without the fear of
arrest.
Details are still being finalised at time
of going to press, but the Stade Open
Space is likely to host some of the
entertainment associated with the
famous Hastings Old Town Carnival.
For further information ring
01424 451111.
Saturday 2 August
Hastings 1066 Market
will be on site for the
Gilded Hand event
celebrating the best of
local produce and will
include a hog-roast and
drinks. The market also
takes place on many other occasions
including Sundays during the summer.
Check www.hastings1066market.co.uk
website for times and dates.
Stade Saturdays bring you The Gilded
Hand - International Buskers Fair, a
day for buskers to ply their trade,
to entertain and for the public to
contribute.
Starting at
2pm and
finishing at
9pm, the
Stade will play host to a variety of
musical buskers who will be passing
the hat after their shows, so please be
generous.
The Gilded Hand fair will be by invite
only and will play host to musicians
and players from across the UK
with specially invited guests to be
announced nearer the day. Buskers
who wish to participate in this event
should contact
[email protected].

“Grime” Ramshacklicious
This is the story of an ordinary
dysfunctional family trying to live
outside the constraints of normal
society.
Circumstances beyond their control
have forced them to leave behind their
cosy trappings, to uproot and start a
new life: a life on the move, a life on the
edge; a life of grind and grime, grease
and meat.
12
A complicated mesh of co-dependency,
lies and deceit is all that holds them
together. Apart from the grease…..this
show follows the trials and tribulations
of a family intent on survival in harsh
times, a real life, modern-day soap
opera.
Combining roustabout circus skills
with weird music, alternative physical
theatre and anarchic comedy, the
Ramshacklicious exploration of new
areas of audience experience is an
unmissable wonder.

Journeys
Dance Festival:
Sunday Live Jive
At first glance, nothing seems out of
the ordinary in our opening festival
performance. A group of well dressed
but ordinary people, seated on an
array of wooden chairs. Look closer
and you will notice each carries a saw.
What follows is a physically demanding
and sometimes comedic onslaught
of destruction and dexterity! The
saw against wood and the laboured
breathing of the performers becomes
the soundtrack as they try to remain on
their chairs while simultaneously sawing
them to pieces.
A large-scale performance involving
local participants from the region and
commissioned by South East
Dance for their Big Dance
Celebrations.
Created by Belgian
choreographer Leen Dewilde
and Reckless Sleepers
Theatre Company.
Hastings 1066 Market will be at this
event. For further information about

it’s musical, dramatic, exotic or just
plain weird, see the people of Hastings

bateria of Brazilian drums, with a fat horn
section and dirty bass-lines, topped with
