We are particularly looking for people who can help us with marketing, fund raising and social media.

BECOME A FRIEND OF HASTINGS MUSICAL FESTIVAL

For £40 a year, or £30  for Over 65s, you can support the Festival by becoming a Friend of the Festival. This membership gives you a season ticket for the Festival. The ticket admits one person to all Hastings Musical Festival Sessions including the Junior Instrumental Concerto Class. It will also give you a reduced price for the Festival Finale.

Tickets admit one person to the Schools Day but please make sure you book your seat with the theatre on that day as it is a ticketed event.

You can become a Friend by visiting us at the Festival Office in the White Rock Theatre.
