The Yarn Storytelling

We are proud to be hosting legendary live storytelling event The Yarn in the castle grounds!

Described by audience members as a night to make you ‘cry tears of laughter into your wine’, and ‘nourishment for the soul’, The Yarn is the brainchild of Irish theatre maker Helen Black and James Young of the Hastings Writers Workshop, and (including in its previous guise as Story Club) has been wowing local audiences since 2025.

We will also be collecting YOUR stories in our castle private booth with audio producer Jodie Taylor.

Where in Hastings have you felt the strongest sense of belonging?

Get those stories ready…

Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, and as always, dress for the weather!
