Every May Day Bank Holiday weekend thousands of people come to Hastings for Jack in the Green helping boost the local economy which is fantastic! Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green is a registered charity that relies on various different methods of funding - ticket sales, merchandise, collection pots, advertising, grants, decorating and donations.

In previous years we have been supported financially and logistically by Hastings Borough Council. As our funding from the council is reducing we are looking at new ways to fund Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green. We are hoping we can get support from local businesses to ensure the event can continue for many years to come. Local businesses have already supported Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green for many years through advertising in our printed programme, displaying collection pots, and paying for greenery via our decorating team.

In 2024, we introduced our new Business Supporters Scheme. In 2025 we have expanded this scheme to different tiers. Businesses that have supported us through advertising, greenery decoration, or a donation, will be given a HTJITG Supporter window sticker for that can be displayed. Not only will you be financially supporting the event, but passing foot-traffic will also be able to see which local businesses are supporting us.

We will also be highlighting this scheme through social media to show the public that local businesses support local events!
