Excursion to Hastings
I guess more than one of you STS students, have been spending hours, days or perhaps weeks on trying to decide what course town you want to go to. When I was 14 I had a hard time making my mind up between Hastings and Brighton. Finally, I chose Hastings and I must say my love is still divided between the towns. Brighton is cool and alternative and feels a bit more like a big city with all I require when it comes to shopping, while Hastings is calmer, still got great shopping and entertainment, but also a fantastic Old Town, where everything's incredibly cute and you really feel the long history of the town. The Hastings area has been inhabited since the 600's and was once called the Kingdom of Haestingas.
If you have chosen Explorer Pass, you'll get the chance to compare the towns yourself. If you'd like to visit cute and weird shops on narrow streets, and want to experience some time-travelling we can take you to George Street and let you explore Old Town. We can also climb West Hill (or go by lift) to get a stunning view over Hastings and the English Channel. Up there you'll find the 1000 years old castle ruin and the smuggler caves used in the 1700's, and if you want to visit the castle or go into the caves we'll arrange that as well.
If you prefer shopping in more modern settings you should stay in the town centre, which is also a very pleasant area. There is a shopping centre we can show you, as well as classic shopping streets for pedestrians with shops such as Debenham's and Top Shop. You could also go to the cinema if you want to or spend some time on the beach (bring your swim suit!).
As you can see there are several things to see and do, and the leaders are there to help you find what you prefer. You will get more details about the excursion when we're in Brighton, to get the most out of it, and, who know's, maybe you want to go to Hastings on your next language trip.
