GET HASTINGS MAGAZINE
As the Editor-in-Chief of Get Hastings, I’m incredibly proud to be part of a magazine that truly reflects the heart and soul of our town. It is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteer writers, photographers, illustrators, designers, proof-readers and even a delivery driver! Get Hastings is a labour of love—created by the community, for the community. We tell the stories of the independent businesses, musicians, artists, and creatives who make Hastings such a vibrant and inspiring place to live and work. Through thoughtful features and beautifully crafted visuals, we aim to capture the essence of what makes Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill and their surrounding areas so unique.
What makes Get Hastings special is the passion behind every page. Our contributors aren’t just writers or photographers—they’re locals who care deeply about showcasing the talent, heritage, and entrepreneurial spirit of Hastings. Whether we’re highlighting a new independent shop, sharing the journey of a local maker, or diving into the rich history of the town, our goal is to create something that feels personal and meaningful. We hope that when you pick up a copy of Get Hastings, you feel the same sense of pride and connection that we do in creating it.
