There is also free multi-sports activities for under 16’s on Sunday only.

Admission to the event is free and it will be officially opened on Saturday at 11am by former Hastings MP Michael Foster.

Local historian André Palfrey-Martin said: “Each afternoon at 2.00pm there will be an illustrated on the Building of the Council Estates and the involvement of Borough Engineer Sidney Little.

“Many, I know, relate to those times in the 1950s and 1960s when the size of the estates expanded at a great speed to meet the growing population.
