Myplace - celebrating young people in Hastings...

Myplace is about youth & community invovlement, providing a safe but inspirational place for young people to go and ensuring a sense of place & belonging that is shared with the wider community. Current users of St Mary-in-the-Castle will find this youth managed arts & cultural facility more than receptive to their active invovlement. We believe that St Mary-in-the-Castle will become more vibrant, accessible and utilised than ever before. There has been some misreporting of the project's intentions in the local press - dispel your fears by clicking on the truth about myplace. And for comprehensive clarification about Myplace click here for a pdf of Frequently Asked Questions.

The project will ensure that young people are connected to the town's heritage, will raise aspirations, create opporunities, and will ensure that St Mary-in-the-Castle can continue to stand proud as a very real celebration of the culture, arts and creativity inherent in Hastings.
