Sadly, due to all sorts of bureaucratic and other reasons, this has had to be cancelled.

Details  of any other event will be posted as, when and if they arise.

Thanks, as always to GSLC for putting a lot of work into this before being stopped by …(edited by the lawyers).

From The Gensing and Central St Leonards Community Forum:

The Gensing and Central St Leonards Community Forum have been approached by the organisers of Hasting Week and have agreed to run the event detailed below.

HASTINGS WEEK STREET PARTY

WEDNESDAY 13^TH OCTOBER 12PM TO 8PM

KINGS ROAD

This event is called a street party but will be a market with entertainment.  This traditionally takes place on the High Street however the organisers have decided that this year the event should take place in St Leonards and the forum has been asked to run the event.

It’s not on the same scale as the St Leonards Festival market:

• Market using tables not market stalls

• Opportunity for traders to have a table outside their shop.

• We will bring in some market traders but not external food traders.

• Entertainment of some description but no stage

• Childrens fancy dress competition

• Best dressed window competition

There will be a charge for this to cover cost of license and overheads cost yet to be decided.  The price will be less than charged at the St Leonards Festival.

Further details still to be decided any suggestions would be most welcome.

This sounds great, and could be a good boost for Kings Road and St Leonards generally. Please help with ideas, participation and custom. More details as and when. Enquiries to The Gensing and Central St Leonards Community Forum please.
