The biannual Classic Car Boot Sale at King’s Cross in April this year. This event, organised by Hemingway Design, comes to Hastings Pier next month.
Six years after the Victorian Hastings Pier was gutted by fire, it reopened last year after a £14m redevelopment. The funding included £11m from the Heritage Lottery Fund as well as monies raised locally and regionally.
The pier has its critics but is now an undoubted growing attraction in the East Sussex town, hosting films, theatre, music gigs and festivals, with a bar and restaurant, small shopping booths and a memories room dedicated to the pier’s lively past.
