Archived Event: Vigil to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Alan Kurdi

This event has already taken place, and is shown here for information only.

Date: 5 Sep 2025

Time: 6pm

Venue: Warrior Square beach steps

10 years ago the body of 3 year old Alan Kurdi washed up on a beach in Turkey.
The world started to wake up to the terrible reality of the Refugee crisis.


Hastings mobilised an amazing volume of support – the compassion shown by our town at this time was a wonderful thing.


In these times when we are lead to believe that compassion is becoming a thing of the past we must strive to show it is not.


Please join us for a peaceful vigil to mark this terrible anniversary and to remember all who have lost their lives fleeing to safety.

Friday 5th September
6pm
Warrior Square beach Steps.
