A lively and entertaining series of history events with Sussex historian Kevin Newman.
20 September - Brighton At Work: Trades and Professions of the Past
Kevin explores trades and professions from Brighton's past, covering fishing, farming, manufacturing and entertainment industries along with some other, more dubious livings - including the dangers of building Brighton's Marina, using some previously unpublished documents.
18 October - Spooky Sussex! Spooky Sites & Sightings (Adults only)
Kevin explores spooky sites and sightings throughout Sussex history, investigating terrifying twittens, pub poltergeists and spooky shops of yesteryear - including why Yoko Ono terrified churchgoers and the tale of Findon's forgotten Highwayman.
13 December - Sussexmas! Sussex's Christmas Traditions
Kevin examines Sussex Christmas traditions, investigating festive games, drinks and dishes - including why Queen Victoria was pulled by 'Keith', and some rather dangerous historical Christmas activities.
