A History of Sport in Sussex - from the Amazing to the Bizarre

This illustrated talk by Mathew Homewood takes a light-hearted look at the history of sporting events in Sussex. Sport has been a key feature of Sussex life throughout the centuries, with cricket, football and horse racing being commonplace events, as well as the much-loved Sussex game of stoolball. However, local village sports days were also host to many lesser-known sporting activities, including jingling matches, menagerie races and piano bashing. You don’t need to be a serious sports fan to enjoy this entertaining and informative talk.
