Summerfields Leisure Centre is approximately 3/4 mile from Hastings Rail Station (up hill!) but buses operate from both Hastings and St Leonards stations direct to the venue. Direct buses from Rye, Bexhill and Tunbridge Wells also to outside venue.
PARKING
There is a pay-and-display parking on-site. The machine accepts either coins only or payment by Ringgo phone app (Location code: 17164). Please check the link for more details before your visit.
https://www.hastings.gov.uk/parking/carparks/summerfields/ There are 100 spaces and these will fill up very fast, so recommended leaving car at home and coming by bus.
There is some limited on-street parking immediately surrounding the leisure centre. We recommend if coming by car to park away from the venue and take a 10 minutes bus ride direct to the site entrance.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Stagecoach buses operate from Hastings and St Leonards stations direct to the venue. Connecting buses from Rye, Tenterden and Eastbourne are also in operation - please check timetables before you travel.

Full wheelchair access to the exhibition hall is available via a lift; venue staff will assist with this if required.
