Heritage Open Days - Mediæval working life

 Haestingas Regias re-enactors will be showing Mediæval working life. 

 On the 12th and 13th of September, the Haestingas will be transporting Sompting Church back to the year 1000! The interior of the church will be awash with ecclesiastical activity, with manuscripts being illustrated and reliquaries produced. Outside, the secular community who support the church will be busy, displaying crafts and producing food. Come and take in the sights, sounds and smells of Sompting as they would have been when this wonderful structure was new!
