Our hugely popular lecture series returns on Thursday evenings this October and November.

An intimate season of talks with our Archaeology Curator James Sainsbury and a guest speaker. Explore a wide range of subjects from Worthing in the Neolithic, the stories of Cissbury, Chanctonbury Ring and Highdown, through to the Norman Conquest and Worthing in the Great War. This year social historian Beth Collard will be giving a brand new lecture on the Pioneering Women of Worthing, as well as her fascinating talk on Harry Peuleve, a Worthing-born SOE agent active in Europe during World War II.

About the talk

Join our archaeologist James for a lecture revealing the fascinating history of Highdown Hill. From Bronze Age enclosure and Iron Age fort through to Roman residence and Anglo-Saxon cemetery this talk will take an in-depth look at one of Worthing’s most famous hills. New and exciting research will be discussed during this lecture, including future plans for further study that could challenge the established history of the site forever. There will be an object handling session after this lecture.

Ticket price includes a glass of wine or tea/coffee.
