Old Hastings Preservation Society was founded in 1952 to promote the permanent preservation of buildings of beauty/historic interest, especially in Hastings & St. Leonards and foster an appreciation of the history of Hastings. We encourage and record research which supports our objectives. Good architecture, design and town planning is encouraged. In 1956 we founded the Hastings Fishermen’s Museum open daily in Rock-a-Nore Road and more recently Hastings History House.

Punch & Judy at Home - Half-Sovereign Cottage
If you couldn't get to the show, herewith on YouTube.

We were also interviewed on Carnival FM.
Hastings Old Town Carnival Week Live Punch & Judy Show at Half-Sovereign Cottage for the OHPS. There was a much bigger audience at the second performance, but crowd, pebble and wind noise, not to mention the constant beating of a hammer on metal rather ruined the sound track!
Sorry about the end - forgot to cut it!
