SUMMARY:Jack In The Green
DESCRIPTION:Home » Events » Cultural & Traditional Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJack in the Green is a traditional May Day celebration that began in England\, especially in southern counties such as Sussex and Kent. This vibrant event blends ancient pagan customs with later Christian traditions. \nHastings hosts the largest festival of its kind in the country. It usually takes place on the first weekend of May and draws crowds of locals and visitors. The towering Jack in the Green figure leads the parade\, covered in lush greenery. Morris dancers\, musicians and revellers adorned in fresh foliage accompany him through the streets. \nA unique feature of the Hastings celebration is the “Rising of the Jack.” On the morning of May Day\, performers “awaken” the effigy during a ceremony at the Fishermen’s Museum. Enthusiastic onlookers attend the ritual\, which signals the start of the day’s festivities. \nAt its core\, the festival celebrates the arrival of spring and the renewal of nature. London milkmaids and chimney sweeps likely began the Jack in the Green tradition in the 17th century. The central figure resembles a walking tree or bush and musicians\, dancers and revelers follow him in the procession. People often link Jack in the Green with the Green Man\, a symbol of rebirth and growth. \n  \nThis is an extremely popular event so please BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION EARLY to avoid disappointment. \nPlease check dates & times of events with the organisers.We cannot be held responsible for alteration or cancellation of any events.

SUMMARY:Hastings Old Town Carnival Week
DESCRIPTION:Home » Events » Cultural & Traditional Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHastings Old Town Carnival Week takes place every summer in the Old Town of Hastings\, East Sussex. \nThe carnival week usually happens during the first week of August. Winkle Island officially opens the celebrations. During the week\, organisers host concerts\, street parties\, charity races and Morris dancing. Participants join the Old Town Carnival procession\, which features floats\, dancers\, majorettes and marching bands. The evening ends with a firework display. \nThe carnival began in 1968. Old Town residents felt that the original Hastings Carnival should have included the Old Town in its route\, so they created their own event. Over time\, the Old Town carnival grew bigger and more popular\, while the Hastings carnival declined and eventually stopped. As a parting gesture\, the organisers gave the Carnival Queen the title “Miss Hastings.” In 2018\, they rebranded the Carnival Court as the Sea Court and added a King\, who holds the title “Mr Hastings.” \nThe week concludes with a spectacular firework display over the waters of the English Channel. Bright colours fill the night sky and reflect on the sea. The display impresses both first-time visitors and long-time carnival fans.
