Hastings is well served by Southern and Southeastern trains. Trains regularly depart from London Charing Cross, Waterloo East, London Bridge, London Victoria and Gatwick Airport, with a travel time of around one and a half hours from Charing Cross to Hastings. Trains also depart from St Pancras International on the UK's first domestic high speed service with one change at Ashford International.
BY ROAD
We would encourage visitors to use public transport if at all possible, but for those who need to travel by road, if you're traveling from London and the North, take the A21 from the M25 all the way to Hastings. Alternatively, you can take the M20 from London towards Ashford, then take the A2070 and A259. From Brighton and the West simply take the A27 and A259, which bring you directly into Hastings.
ONCE YOU'RE HERE...
...you're going to need to find your way around! Thankfully, we've produced this handy map to guide you. You should be able to pick up a physical copy in any one of the participating venues.
