Location & Map

As usual, HBMF is being held in Alexandra Park, Hastings. Here's the full address: Alexandra Park, St Helens Road/Lower Park Road, Hastings, East Sussex.

You can view it on Google Maps (link opens in a new window)

Car parking is very limited near the site. There's no dedicated visitor car park, so you'd need to park in the centre of Hastings (about a 10 minute walk). We recommend you travel by train, bus, or on foot.

Ticket Prices

Tickets for Friday Evening (2nd July) and Saturday Evening (3rd July) cost £10 on the door, or £8 when you book in advance.

Tickets for the Saturday afternoon family day are: £2 for adults; £1 for children; or £6 for a family ticket (2 adults & 3 children).

Tickets are not transferable or refundable. No re-admittance. Ticket covers admittance for that day only. Tickets for Saturday Family-Fun Afternoon do not cover admittance to Saturday night. The management reserve the right to refuse admittance.

Opening Times

Friday & Saturday nights: gates open at 6pm. Open til 11:30pm.

Saturday Family-Fun Afternoon is open 12pm - 5pm.

The arena will be completely cleared of members of the public before the start of Saturday night gets underway.

Food & Drinks

There will be a host of local food vendors catering food & snacks for all tastes.

We want HBMF to be a great value night out, so we're keeping the drink prices as low as possible. Bitter and ales are only £2.50 per pint. There will also be a range of soft drinks available.

No alcohol or glass to be brought into the arena.

Bar Selection

There's a selection of over 100 different ales, bitters, milds, and stouts. We have tasting notes for each of the beers to view on the night.

Cider lovers have the choice of Kent-produced Biddenden Cider, Bulmers, and Kingston Press.

Alternatively, you can buy red and white wine - and bubbly - by the glass, or treat yourself to a refreshing glass of Pimms. A selection of soft drinks are also available.
