Wildlife and historical experts will be on hand to help you learn all about our wonderful churchyard, so bring a picnic blanket and basket and come along for a day of fun and learning.

Some stalls may have items to purchase (Sussex Bat Group will be bringing batty items, for example) so bring along a little pocket money, just in case.

The day is free to attend (donations welcome). You can just come along on the day, but if you can let the Friends know if you are planning to attend that will be helpful for planning.

Any questions can be emailed to [email protected]. The churchyard itself has no parking, so please leave plenty of time to find a spot in the surrounding area.
