We are TUFT - Hastings based performance company founded by Ellie Westbrook.
Ellie is both a performance artist, clown, opera singing interdisciplinary person and loves beautiful weird art that makes her laugh and cry and feel humanity.
"I love making performance work in amazing spaces around my beautiful home of Hastings. I want to be able to pay local artists and collaborators, offer some cheaper tickets to those who need them. As well as, continue to contribute to the already buzzing arts culture here."
Following the SELL OUT success of 2024 Concert At The Castle, we are asking for support once again to put on another bigger and better event over an August weekend, to bring the community together at this historical venue. We believe Hastings Castle should be a recognised location for just that. We are working along side a collective of local artists who want to fill its cracks with creativity.
Concert at the Castle will showcase a range of solo and group performances with innovative lighting design, which will once again transform the space into a magical afternoon and evening of beauty. Alongside this, we plan to host a family day so younger audiences can get involved.
It will be a truly beautiful and unique event, and we will do it with your support at the end of August 2025.
Tickets for Concert at the Castle 2025 will be on sale closer to the event, at a full price of £25. Any donation towards making this larger scale event would be amazing, or you can check out one of our rewards.
In the meantime, please join us for our fundraiser Concert in the Caves on February 8th 2025!
Tickets here for the 6:30pm and 9pm shows!
