HASTINGS BONFIRE from DFL
Performances at 5pm, 6.15, 7.45
DFL: Hastings Bonfire is an episodic new play written by Nadine Passley. It is a girl-meets-boy romcom interrogating contemporary themes, think One Day-on-Sea, Notting Hill on the West Hill.
Throughout the year, show producers, Hastings Theatre Project, will present six short scenes set during key moments in the town’s calendar in locations across the borough. This part of the story, performed here at The Beacon, is themed to Hastings Bonfire, and sees ex couple Noah and Lydia reunited and tensions growing as we learn more about their past relationship. Sparks will fly!
Episodes of the play have so far been performed at Pirate Day (in Bottle Alley), and Old Town Carnival (at Butler’s Gap). Recaps of the story, and more info about the show can be found here: https://www.
Pay-What-You-Can Tickets for DFL: Hastings Bonfire can be bought here: https://www.
Or pay on the door on the night.

London’s longest running short film screening club returns to Hastings for a spectacular night of local and international short film, folk cinema, performance, music and digital anti-art.
Exploding Cinema is totally open access, so it would be fabulous if you wanted to show a film or pass this on to anyone else who might have a film to show. The work should be under 20 mins (approx.) and ideally one of the makers or a representative of the maker should attend the screening. We are an unfunded non-profit venture, so although there’s no fee for screening work, all the profits will be used to improve the shows for the next filmmakers to be screened.
If you have a film you’d like to show don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at

The Exploding Cinema is a non-profit volunteer screening collective that emerged from the underground art squat scene in 1991. We organise regular open access screening nights of short film, underground cinema, artists moving image and performance art.
Anyone can show a film – anyone can join the collective.
Over the last 30 years we have screened thousands of no-budget films/videos in squats, pubs, clubs, cafes and church halls, we’ve staged one-off shows in disused factories, office blocks, a circus tent and in the deep end of a squatted Lido.
And now we are delighted to be the guests of the Beacon, a hidden pleasure garden perched high on the West Hill.
