Autumn Lecture Series: Worthing and the Second World War

Sussex was on the frontline in 1940 – if the RAF had failed and the Wehrmacht had invaded the area would have been of major strategic importance to both sides.  We will look at the defences themselves – pillboxes, anti-tank ditches and heavy guns sited on the Downs, along with aerial photographs taken by the Luftwaffe whilst planning their invasion.  Eye-witness accounts and photographs of the period will form a part of this talk

From 1 December 2025, a Transaction Fee will apply to all bookings made through WTM, including online, in person, and by telephone. 

This fee helps cover the increased operational costs associated with processing bookings and maintaining our customer-focused ticketing systems. As public funding for the arts continues to decline, Transaction Fees are becoming commonplace across the UK cultural sector, allowing us to protect our programming, invest in digital improvements, and support exceptional customer service. 

As part of their members' benefits, WTM Members and Patrons will not pay a Transaction Fee. This will automatically be applied when you log into your online account. In person, please show your digital membership card to a member of the Ticketing & Sales team if purchasing your tickets at one of our Ticket & Sales Offices.
