Direct Debits

Once you have purchased your first year’s membership, you’ll be sent an email with a link to sign up for an annual direct debit. Set up a direct debit to ensure your membership is renewed automatically. Hastings Contemporary does not have access to your bank details.

Renewals

If you pay by card, you’ll be sent a letter near your membership expiry date reminding you to renew. If you pay by direct debit, your membership will be renewed automatically and you’ll receive a letter acknowledging your renewal.

If you’d prefer not to pay online

To sign up or to renew your existing membership with a one-off payment, you are welcome to pay in person at the front desk during gallery opening hours or send a cheque to Membership, Hastings Contemporary, Rock-a-Nore Road, Hastings TN34 3DW.
