Norman Road

Norman Road has a new art gallery of Russian Art. We think. Whatever, it is splendidly smart and gallery-ish.

More details to follow.

Art production is up again, comrades.

Welcome to One, 1 London Road*, our newest Nearly Norman, who has an array of wonderful food to take away, an array of wonderful art to see while you stay, and whose lovely, bright, colourful premises have brought a ray of sunshine to Norman’s early autumn.

*Very Wellingtonian, who, after retirement, lived at Number 1, London.

Saturday & Sunday 19th &20th September

Yup, this weekend the Hastings Seafood and wine festival, down by the Stade on the front. Norman will be there in the shape of the best restaurant in East Sussex, St Clements, the renowned Deli and Cafe, Spike’s QOL and Dawg’s Biscuits, (natch; who do you think herds ‘em all in, huh?)

When you tire of the crowds, the hurly burly, the razzmatazz you can seek entertainment and comfort here in Norman Road: great antique shops to browse, the finest pub in the area, (The Horse & Groom), and all you need to recharge those batteries.

QOL, at 39 Norman Road will be open for light lunches, coffees and teas, as well as being at the festival.

We might have been away, most likely on the beach rather than torpid Tuscany, or Erstwhile Exotica, but we are still busy bees on Norman Road.

Two large gallery type places are being brought to life, one in part of Bookers, by Russell, who specializes in Russian paintings, and the other, on the big corner building, a community gallery, mooted, planned and shoved forward by Ed of Love Studios.

watch this space..

Norman Road has been a centre of excellence in all things artistic for many, many years.

Which is Summer by the sea fun. Was this a stage setter for modern times? Where Norman leads etc? 1066 to 1966 to Now?
We like to think so. Just so cool by the seaside.
