We’re so pleased to be able to give details of this year’s very popular Wednesdays at One series of lunchtime talks.
These take place in The Grange Gallery (unless otherwise stated) above the library, opposite the pond, in our beautiful village of Rottingdean by the sea.
Places are limited to 40 people and as there is no booking required we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a voluntary suggested donation of £3.00 to help pay for our wonderful speakers.
From talks on the Burne-Jones windows to local history, The Daddy Longlegs Railway to Tracing your Family History and from a talk on Gertrude Jekyll (in costume) to a tour of The Grange Gardens, there is something for everyone!
Look out for the first talk on 7th May held by our local historian Mike Laslett on Local History. Full details on the poster in our images – also available to pick up from The Grange Gallery.
