Hastings Round Table

Hastings Round Table

HBMF is organised by Hastings Round Table, part of the largest voluntary organisation for young men in Great Britain and Ireland. Round Table brings together members to make a difference in their local communities through fundraising, friendship and unforgettable experiences. All profits from the festival go straight back into supporting local causes – over £1.5 million raised and counting. We're proud to celebrate Hastings and give something special back to the town we love.
