The historic, cosmopolitan town of Hastings – with its coastal lifestyle, mild climate, and beautiful surrounding countryside – is fast becoming the ideal location for creative businesses in the south east.
With the Creative Media Centre’s prominent location in Robertson Street – forming part of the town’s bustling new commercial, leisure and education district – we’re ideally placed within a short walking distance of the shopping centre, independent shops, cafés and restaurants, local services, mainline train stations, the bus station and public car parks.

Business support
Expert business advice and information, as well as potential routes to obtain grants and funding, are available from a range of helpful organisations – while the new University Centre, College campus and public libraries can help deepen your knowledge further.
Eating and drinking
With an eclectic mix of flavours and styles available, there are many tempting little places to eat or meet up for a drink – some offering inspiring views of the hilltop castle and seafront. There’s a wide range of cafés, bars, restaurants and lunch stops right on our doorstep.
Shopping
The Priory Meadow shopping centre, home to a wide selection of high street names, is complemented by a number of local and independent shops offering local goods and unique gifts.
You’ll find the twice-monthly Farmers’ Market in Robertson Street does a brisk trade in quality, local produce – everything from free-range meat and poultry to home-made cakes, pies and pastries.
Travel
Ideally placed for transport to London, Brighton, Ashford, Gatwick and beyond, the Centre is easily accessible by road, rail and foot. The mainline station and two public car parks are a short stroll away.
