PLAY THE TOWN 2025

Welcome to Play the Town, an exciting new, Interactive Art-based Treasure Trail running throughout May 2025 across Hastings, St Leonards and Bexhill. 

Featuring over 30 pop-up installations, Curious Agenda CIC brings you this unique event, inviting you to get curious and explore the town through creativity and play.

Part of A Curious Town Plays, a month long festival bursting with Curiosities to cement Hastings’ place as the world’s first ‘Curious Town’. 

Highlights include ‘The World’s Smallest Disco’, a giant child-led building of an Adventure Playground with Woodland Tribe, Ten Sixty Mix Phone Boxes, giant Hastings Inspired Games, the curiously speckly Woodland Trail, artist designed Giant Playing Cards, the Play Me Piano and so much more...

It’s Time for our Curious Town to Play…
