Old Hastings is the compact, coastal ward that centres on the cobbled lanes and seafront of the Old Town in Hastings, East Sussex, England. It hugs the shingle beach known as the Stade, where the distinctive net and rope huts of the fishing community sit beneath the cliffs and the Rock-a-Nore headland; the ruined Hastings Castle is visible on the hill above, underlining the area's long history.
Historically a working fishing quarter, the ward now mixes that maritime economy with tourism, independent shops, galleries, pubs and a lively creative scene, so you’ll find long-established fishing families alongside newer artists and hospitality businesses. Community events, small festivals and ongoing regeneration have helped keep the neighbourhood culturally vibrant while preserving its historic character.
