2024

Trans Pride Hastings would like to thank Hastings Museum & Art Gallery, The Observer Building, Three Legs Brewery, Home Live Art, Museum of Transology, Summerfields Leisure, The Open Press, Afri Co lab, Hastings Rec Football Team, Queer Ass Folk, The Kino, Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, The Stables Theatre, Emmy Minton, PMBC, Rodent, The Arts Council, Hastings Council & The National Lottery. Also a big shout out to our beautiful bunch of volunteers, performers, workshop facilitators and to everyone who showed up.

July 2024 saw an amazing weekend of entertainment with a bigger & wilder Big Queer Party at The OB and our first ever Trans Pride Fest at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery.

Dairy King, Rodent and Spirit Doll ruled the stage on Saturday night with The Drakes, Luc Grey and Mastolf & Mastej with interactive performance pieces.

Trans Pride Fest was a gloriously sunny sunday. Entertainment supplied by Queer Ass Folk & PMBC on the stage with workshops and demos around the building and in the grounds. The blazing heat was eased by two free swim sessions in the pool next door, a bunch of free icecreams & Three Legs Brewery who generously provided a bar.

As well as the two big events, our community worked with Cabaret Mechanical Theatre to create a Paper Protest March, donated their trans objects to the Museum of Transology’s National day of collecting, lost a football tournament with Hastings Rec and produced a ‘Proud ‘zine’ with Soof. TPH also collaborated with Home Live Art to bring Tink Flaherty’s show Benched to The Stables Theatre and worked with Drag King Orlando & the Kino to intro Paul Presciado’s film Orlando - My Political Biography.

Thanks to The National Lottery Awards For All and The Arts Council this year we raised £34,500.
