"Oh no it isn't”: a History of Pantomime – presented by Pete Allen

East Preston & Kingston Preservation Society, East Preston, Littlehampton
What is it about pantomime that attracts us to this strange concoction of fairy tales, dance, jokes, songs and cross-dressing?  And what is it really like to play the back end of a Pantomime cow? 
All this, and the answer to whether something really is behind you, will be answered in this talk about what has become one of the great British Christmas traditions. Pete is the Director of the R. C. Sherriff Trust, an arts charity, and works extensively as a professional theatre director and film-maker. Entry is free for EPKPS members. Visitors £3, payable on entry (cash only).  All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

Policing Sussex – a talk by Mike Scott Rumble

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
The first “professional” paid police officers in Sussex appeared in 1836 and by the 1880s the whole of the County was patrolled, though it wasn’t until 1968 that the five separate Forces combined to form Sussex Police. Mike Scott Rumble joined Sussex Police that year as a sixteen-year-old Junior Cadet and stayed for another 32 years. In his talk, he will look at the history of the Forces, including some of the more notable crimes investigated over the years. He’ll also look at the advances in transport, communications and crime detection. 
Entry is free for paid-up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

Pewter Casting Workshops

Fleur Grenier, Angmering
Make Your Own Pewter Pendant or Keyring
No experience necessary — Fleur will guide you through the process step by step in this hands-on pewter casting workshop.
Using the traditional cuttlefish casting technique, you’ll carve your own design into a cuttlefish bone, which is then used as a mould for pouring molten pewter. Once cast, you’ll clean and finish your piece before turning it into a pendant or keyring ready to wear or gift.
By the end of the session, you’ll have 2–3 unique pieces to take home.

Private group bookings:
Private workshops for groups of 4–6 people are available on request and can be arranged on either a weekday or weekend.
