JJ Waller’s Jack in the Green 2024
As a tribute to everyone that braved the rain we are featuring a picture special by photographer JJ Waller who writes:
“The past weekend has largely featured water at its centre, but in classic Hastings & Saint Leonards style it has focused on the tenacity, creativity and community spirit of the locals. Jack in the Green 2024 was another superb festival event that exemplifies the town’s ability to celebrate in a unique coming together seldom matched by another ‘better’ resourced festival along the coast in Brighton.”

The wet stage was no challenge to the many teams of Morris dancers including new St Leonards’ Morris side Rheda’s Dream. ©JJ Waller

But the weather didn’t stop people from enjoying themselves and having a sing-song! ©JJ Waller

And everyone went home tired but happy – in the hope of having a bath – if Southern Water would allow it! ©JJ Waller
