October Newsletter

Happy Monday!

We know we're a few days late but it's been a busy old time. To make up for it, this month's newsletter is a bumper lowdown of all the brilliant theatre happening in Hastings this month.

With half term and the Hastings Storytelling Festival, there's loads of fantastic work for you to sink your teeth into.

Remember to contact us before the last Friday of the month if you have something you'd like us to feature the following month.

Spun Glass at Stade Hall are hosting two fantastic shows this month. One is a physical theatre piece tackling themes of fatherhood across generations, cultures and languages - aptly named Fatherhood - and the other is a night of comedy, music, magic and games set in the world of family nights out hosted by the Brightcoats - as per the title, it's All For Your Delight.
