Beach Of Dreams

Beach of Dreams is a country-wide celebration of the UK coastline. The people of Hastings and Rother will take part in activities celebrating our very own coast and become part of the international Beach of Dreams 2025 celebrations. MSL want to make sure everyone who wants to join in has the chance to.

Our Flag Procession

Our procession on Saturday 31st August led from West St Leonards Lido to Hastings’ West Hill. Dozens of walkers carried beautiful hand-dyed pennants to plant in a breathtaking array overlooking the sea.

There was an opportunity to meet Anders Lustgarten, who was collecting stories of the coast and a pennant-making workshop for all ages with Radiator Arts.

Sun Shall Rise MSL Discover

MSL’s digital arts and heritage project, Tressell’s Children, was a ground-breaking project inspired by working-class experiences in Hastings and Medway. The people of the towns created an immersive museum experience of working-class lives.
