Closing party

The Hastings Book Festival and Hastings Book Festival Fringe launched our 2025 Festival on World Book Day in March at Barnaby’s Lounge on Robertson Street, and we bring this year’s activities to a close at the same venue with a thank you party for the scores of writers, readers, speakers, workshop leaders, partners, volunteers and specialist tech and design people who have contributed time, effort and much love to making this year’s events happen. 

We’ll also be revealing our competition winners, so join us for a night of laughter, merriment and celebration.
