ONE FOR THE BOYS - AND SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

Nigel & Wendy Gossop give a light-hearted illustrated talk about two very British institutions that became “The Boy’s Own Paper” and “The Girl’s Own Paper”. First published in 1879/1880, these became essential reading for generations of young people until the 1960s. BOP promoted manliness and chivalry, while GOP offered honest, sound advice. Both papers published stories by established writers, including Jules Verne and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Entry 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. Why not become an RHA member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale

Ferring Community Cinema, Worthing

Ferring Community Cinema will be showing their next film, ‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’ on Friday 13th March 2026.

The scene is London, 1930, and when Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) finds herself in a public scandal, the family faces financial trouble and the threat of social disgrace. There is lots to discuss and decide, and whether Lady Mary should become mistress of Downton Abbey, as previously expected, is one of them. The Crawleys must embrace change, with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.

This Downton Abbey film is a visual treat and wonderfully entertaining — come and join us for this warm hug of a film!

Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30 pm for a prompt 7 pm start.

Wine tasting at Arundel Museum

Arundel Museum, Arundel

Join us for an engaging and relaxed evening of wine tasting.

Hosted by wine expert Simon Benstead, this tasting is all about enjoyment and discovery, with a bit of learning thrown in too. You’ll taste a range of wines with an introduction, a quick game or comparison and then we’ll do a price reveal and ask your opinion.

Along the way, we’ll share practical insights — how the wines are made, why some cost more than others, how to spot different styles and grapes, plus simple food-matching tips. The focus is firmly on approachable, affordable wines you can buy and enjoy, with some interesting discoveries thrown in.

No jargon, no pressure — just good wine and a relaxed couple of hours with friends.
Tickets £25. Book online at www.beyondthecork.co.uk

British Emigrants in the Empire - Some personal stories - Dr Frances Hurd

Sussex Family History Group : Worthing Meeting Centre, Worthing

British political and commercial dominance of much of the world during the 19th century gave unprecedented opportunities for Britons willing to leave their native land. However, although some succeeded far better than if they'd stayed at home, others faced disappointment or even death.
Dr Frances Hurd is a historical researcher living in Chichester. She has worked in publishing, academia and the heritage sector.
