Arundel Museum Talk: The Women’s Land Army in Sussex

Arundel Museum Manager, Arundel

We are delighted to be joined by Sussex historian and academic, Dr John Godfrey.

He has researched the Women’s Land Army extensively and will give us an insight into the set up of the Women’s Land Army during WW2.

War affected every section of society, not just the military. More food needed to be produced and, as men were recruited into the armed services, there were fewer hands to do the work. At the same time, farmers were being pressed to convert more land to arable from pasture. Women had always been involved in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but now their contribution was critical…

Tickets £8 member / £10 non-member.

Book by emailing [email protected] or pop into the Museum.

Family Geology Day 2026 at Rustington Museum

Ray Cooper, Littlehampton

The WSGS are returning for a second year.

With a one day event in partnership with the Rustington Museum, we will be talking to anybody, young and old, interested in fossils, rocks, minerals, dinosaurs and any related subject that you are interested in, to do with Geology and Palaeontology and have 'hands-on come and see' examples of items and actual specimens belonging to society members.

There will also be a visitor 'show and tell', where we will attempt to Identify any fossil, rock or mineral specimens that visitors may like to bring along.
In addition there will be an affordable original & pre-owned geology book sales at 'pocket money' prices.
Plus our ever popular Lucky Dips for the children.
So if you don't know anything about Geology but want to learn a little, then do come along to meet and talk to our 'guys & gals'. It is always low key but interesting, and who knows you may want to join the WSGS.

The Arts Society Arun monthly talk: Regeneration of the British Seaside Resort

The Arts Society Arun, Rustington

This month's talk is by Jackie-Marsh Hobbs, "Regeneration of The British Seaside Resort".
Traces from three centuries of seaside holidays are still present in our historic coastal towns, their architecture and environments.

Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee & biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month. For more information, please email [email protected]
