Two GIANT screens showcasing the acts live

HBMF 2011 will be THE music event of the summer - on Friday 1st & Saturday 2nd July in Alexandra Park, Hastings.

Organized by the Hastings & Battle Round Tables, HBMF brings you the best in music, beer, and atmosphere - and it's all for charity. Or as we say, Great Fun for Great Causes.

Last year's sell-out success raised over £35,000 for charity - but this year we want to SMASH that. Come back to this site soon to read about the great music we have lined up, as well as our recession-busting Saturday Family-Fun Afternoon.

Our Thursday night Battle of Hastings Proms returns for a second year, and promises to be even better than last year's inaugural event.

Live HBMF News

£2 drinks on Friday, from 6pm-7pm

All the more reason to get yourself down there nice and early to start enjoying the fun!
