This is when late night Christmas shopping is taking place at Priory Meadow in Hastings

Mega Week is also returning for Hastings shoppers, with participating stores open until 7pm every evening from Monday 20th December until Christmas Eve when they close at 4pm for Christmas.

Centre Manager, Andy Harvey, said: “We haven’t had late night shopping since 2019, as we went into lockdown over the Christmas period last year.’

“We want people to shop local and support our stores as much as possible, and this is another way to make it more convenient and accessible for the community.’

“It’s also a great way to beat the queues, avoid the weekend rush, and shop amongst some sparkle with our Christmas lights and 35ft tree setting a festive atmosphere.”

Primark, Waterstones, The Works, H&M and Marks and Spencer are just a few of the stores you can enjoy shopping at during this joyful season. PizzaExpress is also open until 10.30pm for you to devour a festive feast once you’re all shopped out. Individual store times may vary.
