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.

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

Debussy’s evocative seascape 'La Mer' is performed for the first time ever by the WPO. The orchestra also continues its cycle of the Sibelius symphonies with his Symphony No. 5, the last movement of which famously presents a theme inspired by a flock of swans in flight.
At the centre of the programme is the 'Blue Wave Concerto' by local composer, Chaz Hart. The concerto was finished in 2020 and inspired by his trips to Key West, Sierra Nevada, and the Grand Canyon.
The WPO is thrilled to welcome the acclaimed local guitarist Paul Gregory as soloist.
