The Visitor Centre is staffed by a small but dedicated team of Volunteers who can answer your questions on most aspects of the Country Park. Here you will be able to get a Park map, events booklet for all the Hastings green spaces plus many other useful leaflets and browse the varied displays on the geology, habitats, flora and fauna of Hastings Country Park plus a small display of locally found fossils including a cast of the footprint of an adult Iguanadon.

New Visitor Centre
It is proposed to replace the present building which has no facilities for the staff and has been on the site for about 40 years, despite being second hand then. A key facts statement from Hastings Borough Council may be found here

Will the new centre be completed as it is being built with European grants and we are sadly no longer members of the EU.?

I believe they already have the money and work is still carrying on. However I recommend asking this question directly to Hastings Borough Council.

The new Visitor Centre is rumoured to be having a cafe if it ever opens! The tearooms have been sold since closing but I have been unable to find out the intentions of the new owner despite asking a few local residents and the Parish Council.

Hello. Please could you tell me if it is currently possible (safe) to get down to the sea at any points in the Country Park, eg Covehurst beach? Many thanks,

Hastings Borough Council have not maintained a safe access to the beach at Covehurst for many years now and are unlikely to do so again in the foreseeable future, I’m afraid.

Please could you let me know if anyone has handed in a black plastic-fobbed, Kia car key? It tell out of my bag while I was out walking in Hastings Country Park last Sunday (23rd August). I’m in touch with East Sussex sílice too, in case the key is handed in to them. Thank you!

Sorry Lucy, the Visitor Centre was closed because of Covid 19, but now it appears that the closure is permanent. The latest opening date for the new building is next Spring. Were the Visitor Centre still open anyone handing an item of value such as your car keys in would have been asked to take it to the Police station as HBC have a policy of not taking in lost property there.

If during the day, just pay the parking fee. Overnight parking (camping) is not permitted, I’m afraid. Best regards.
