We begin the 2022 programme with an illustrated talk by James Sainsbury, archaeologist and Curator of Worthing Museum, on The Archaeology of Highdown. 7.30 on Friday 4 February. Admission for non-members £3.

This will be followed up with a walk over Highdown led by James, with a detailed explanation of the Bronze Age enclosure, the Iron Age Fort, the Roman Bath House, the Saxon Cemetery  and later uses of the Hill, civil and military, on Sunday 27 March.
