The cheeky pair bring a smile and are happy to pose for pictures with children as they stroll around the Old Town. It is believed that it is two local women under the costumes but who they are remains a mystery.
Once local resident said: “It’s great fun and always makes me smile when I see them out and about. Hastings is known as a town that likes to dress up and they fit in perfectly.”
Next weekend (July 16 and 17) expect to encounter pirates all over the town as Hastings Pirate Day takes place.
