Holidaymakers can learn more about a historic town thanks to the opening of a visitor centre.

Hastings’ new tourist information centre opens on Thursday allowing visitors to find out about local attractions and hotels, buy bus, coach and train tickets, books and souvenirs from the new office in Breeds Place.

The council’s main community information point remains in the Town Hall in Queen's Road.

The local authority say the changes will save about £200,000 a year.
