The Hastings Prom 2026

The Hastings Prom kicks off four unforgettable days of the Hastings Beer & Music Festival, and this year it’s had a full revamp – a Last Night of the Proms-style evening, in partnership with the Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.

Expect a big orchestral performance under the giant big top, mixing well-known classical favourites with plenty of crowd sing-alongs. It’s relaxed but lively, so get there early to bag your spot. Gates open at 5 pm – bring a picnic blanket, a folding chair and wander around the bars and food stalls before the music starts.

Like the whole festival, it’s run entirely by volunteers from the Hastings Round Table, with all ticket profits going straight back into local community projects.
