Re-loved Worthing Style

RE-loved is an innovative concept, helping local people of all ages and abilities to upcycle items of clothing, revamping them and adding style by re-structuring and embellishing their own or unsellable garments from local participating charity shop. The project supports creative development while addressing incredibly important environmental issues.
This is an exhibition of RE-loved Worthing Style, including ‘before’ images and the upcycled items.
FREE entry.

Rise of the Mods and Rockers - a talk by Chris Horlock

East Preston & Kingston Preservation Society, East Preston

The Mods and the Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the late 1950s to mid-1960s, in the post-war era when young people found they now had more money to spare and more independence. In his illustrated talk, Chris Horlock will explore the social and historical background to the notorious seaside clashes between the two groups, especially at what was known as the “Battle of Brighton” in 1964. National newspapers talked of a “moral panic”, though the media sometimes encouraged the aggression, as Chris will explain.

Admission is free for paid-up members of the East Preston & Kingston Preservation Society. Visitors £3, payable at the door. All admissions are subject to the availability of seats on arrival.
