Smugglers Adventure
About
Smugglers Adventure Caves invites visitors to step back in time beneath the historic town of Hastings. Housed in the ancient St Clement’s Caves, the attraction spans over a mile of limestone tunnels, offering a vivid, immersive recreation of the smuggling era that once thrived along the Sussex coast. Visitors wander through winding passages lit by atmospheric lighting and guided by life‑size characters and dramatic sound effects that bring smugglers’ tales to life. From the dramatic entrance overlooking the old town to the underground ‘pit of the curious’, each turn reveals interactive displays, secret tunnels, and the eerie echoes of history. The caves also host special themed events, school programmes, and group explorations, making it a popular destination for families, history enthusiasts, and those fascinated by ghost stories alike.
