The Coat is currently resting on display in Hastings, at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, John's Place, Bohemia Road
Hastings TN34 1ET

FREE entry and parking.
Open: Tuesday - Saturday, 10am - 5pm
and Sundays, 11am - 4.30pm.

If you are travelling to see the Coat please call the Museum in advance to be sure it’s not on an outing. (01424 451052)

The Coat’s pattern of life is to walk for a number of days and then to stay in a place -on display or undergoing creative repair - until a group of pilgrims is able to walk it on again.
When it is on the move you can see where it is walking to each day below.

We are committed to keep the Coat walking and working whilst the climate and ecological situation remains an emergency.

As the work of the Coat of Hopes continues, we do have some running costs to cover, such as this website, costs relating to travel and display and upkeep of the coat. Nobody involved is working for anything, but out of love!

If you felt able to contribute anything towards these costs it will enable the continuation of sharing the Coat of Hopes.
