"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.

Finding Sapper Clay - John Griffiths-Colby

Sussex Family History Group : Worthing Meeting Centre, Worthing

The chance discovery of a First World War medal in a garden in Surrey triggered the search for an old soldier’s family. This would span 19th Century brickmaking in Warwickshire, the Somme, Gallipoli and a family story that that would connect to Geroge Elliot’s (Mary Anne Evans’) first story collection published in 1857. Who was Sapper Clay?

John Griffiths-Colby has a background in Journalism, Business Consultancy and public speaking.

The Musical Vault

Stage Door Theatre Company, Littlehampton

Step into the Vault…

When an Apprentice meets a mysterious Archivist, they’re taken on a fast-paced journey through the history of musical theatre — from bold beginnings to modern-day stories. Along the way, musicals challenge the rules, rewrite the narrative, and prove the power of storytelling.

Funny, heartfelt, and full of theatrical surprises, this is a celebration of the shows that changed the stage — and the voices that continue to shape it.
