Jack in the Green attendees sitting on Hastings West Hill. Photograph by the author. Yesterday was the Hastings Jack in the Green festival, an annual event marked by strange costumes, drinking, and a lot of the colour green. I wrote about last year’s event, and posted a lot of photographs of the 2023 event. Jack was duly slain after 4pm and and his leaves distributed by the Bogies to the crowd - and I now have a new leaf to replace the leaf from 2026. If this last sentence is a little confusing then hopefully the links in the paragraph above will help explain it! My mask and costume made it impossible to take any photographs of the event, but you can find plenty on the official Hastings Jack in the Green Instagram account or just look at the #HastingsJackInTheGreen2026 or #HastingsJackInTheGreen hashtags on your social media platform of choice.
