Observer Building

Matt, the organiser, wants to extend a warm invitation to the sports community to consider the Observer Building in Hastings for their next event or meeting. The Observer Building isn't just any venue; it's a space with history and central to the revitalisation of the Hastings Commons neighbourhood.

Built in 1924 for FJ Parsons Ltd, it lay abandoned from 1985 until Hastings Commons rescued it in 2019 and brought it back to life. Now, it’s a thriving hub housing offices, co-working spaces, the 1066 CrossFit gym, and a range of other businesses.

The venue hosts an array of events—from markets and live music to exhibitions and more. You can check out the upcoming line-up on their website. If you're looking to host an event, simply reach out to events@hastingscommons.com to find a space that fits your needs.

Conveniently located at 53 Cambridge Road, the Observer Building is just a 5-minute walk from both the train station and the beachfront. It's easily accessible by train, with regular services from London Victoria, London Charing Cross, Brighton, Eastbourne, Ashford International, and Ore. Local bus routes stop right outside, and it's only 2 minutes from National Cycling Route 2 for those arriving by bike.

For those needing to rent or hire a space within Hastings Commons, the Observer Building offers various options: a 250-capacity event space, the historic Board Room, flexible co-working spaces, and private offices. If you're keen on a tour, arrange a visit with the venue.

In summary, the Observer Building is a dynamic venue perfect for events, businesses, and the local community. Its prime location, restored beauty, and range of available spaces make it an excellent choice for your next event in Hastings.
