Britain's What's On Event Guide
Hastings Fishermen's Museum
Heritage Open Day: We are the Hastings Fishermen's Museum full to the brim with objects for you to explore ...and an original fishing boat to board! The museum is housed in a former fishermen's church (dedicated to St Nicholas) which was built on the beach in 1854 to serve the local fishing community. It operated as a church until the late 1930s but was turned into a museum in 1956, by the Old Hastings Preservation Society, as it had become derelict.
In the external area, the museum maintains one of the famous Grade ll* listed net shops next to the building. You can also find the 'Edward and Mary' which, in 1919, became the first locally-built fishing boat to be installed with an engine, and 'The Valiant', which was built in Newhaven in 1953 and worked from Hastings until 1999.
