💪 HASTINGS OLD TOWN TUG O' WAR 2026 💪

We're delighted to announce that 247 Taxis & Coaches has stepped in to fully fund the Public Liability Insurance for this year's Hastings Old Town Tug O' War, helping to ensure this fantastic community event can go ahead on 1st August 2026.

Local events like this don't just happen by magic. They happen because people, businesses and volunteers get behind them.

There are still a few things needed to make the day a success:

🏆 Replacement of an unrepairable trophy
🏅 Winners' medals
🪣 Collection tins and buckets (if last year's aren't usable)

Any of the above could be sponsored individually, or if a local business or organisation would like to sponsor the entire event and everything involved, Claire would love to hear from you. You'll get some publicity, a bit of advertising, and Claire has promised she'll publicly embarrass herself by repeatedly shouting her thanks throughout the day 😂

Please inbox Claire directly for details and costings:

They also urgently need:

🎤 Someone reliable to supply, set up and dismantle a PA system with TWO cordless microphones (definitely cordless!)

🚧 Around 20 marshals (preferably people not taking part in the tug)

🖨️ A business willing to print or photocopy posters free of charge

⛑️ 10 qualified First Aiders

If you can help with any of the above, please contact Claire directly:

Please share this post, tag local businesses, organisations, friends and family, and let's make sure this Hastings tradition is bigger and better than ever.
