Smugglers Adventure, St. Clements Caves, Hastings
The following stories are eye witness accounts of spooky happenings around the Caves from members of staff. If you are of a nervous disposition, we advise you do not continue reading. However, please remember that the likeliness of having a supernatural experience whilst in the Caves is extremely low.
Staff are used to working in the dark, eerie caves, but several have reported hearing footsteps, barrels moving, loud bangs and doors slamming. Watch out for the Chapel, not only is it slightly colder than anywhere else, but it’s said to be the most haunted part of the Caves…
Smugglers Adventure offers a great day out for all the family and although young children may find parts of the experience slightly scary, we work hard to ensure everyone enjoys their visit.
The History of Smugglers Adventure

Smugglers Adventure, St. Clements Caves, Hastings
St Clement’s Caves were formed around 14,000 BC, during the last known Ice Age. Since their creation, these mysterious and spooky caves have had a fascinating role to play in the history of the Hastings area.
The caves served as a home, a hospital, an air-raid shelter, and a ballroom – of which even the royal family and The Rolling Stones have visited!
The caves provide the perfect location for a vivid recreation of the fascinating, dark, and often bloody stories of smuggling and piracy along the Sussex Coast. Ever wondered where buccaneers hid back in the 17th and 18th centuries? Well, look no further, because these caves have stories to tell and you’ll want to hear them!
