All At Sea Concert – Sunday October 10th at 3pm, Sullington Manor Farm, Tithe Barn
What better way could you spend a Sunday afternoon than heading across the fields to Sullington Manor Farm and sitting down to listen to a lively concert in the Tithe Barn there? If you bring £5 with you, you can also get a drink and cake in the interval provided by the Workshop Cafe.
The All At Sea concert on 10th October, at 3pm is the culmination of a project whereby the Sussex Folk Orchestra adopted a composer through the organisation, ‘Making Music.’ (see poster for more details)
Our composer Jonathan Brigg, was inspired by the sea and has written a suite of five tunes which really capture the mood. There is the melancholic beginning of ‘Maiden Voyage’ to the hauntingly beautiful ‘Sea of Solitude’ at the end, and on the way the jauntiness of ‘Gone to Sea’ the edgyness of ‘Smugglers’ and the rippling water effect in ‘Free as Waves.’ Jonathan has managed to fuse catchy melodies with his take on harmonies.
There are also sea themed tunes and songs from the folk world and, local historian, Chris Hare will be adding stories of smuggling in this area. His book ‘Secret Shore’ will be for sale priced £10.
All proceeds are going to Olly’s Future – a suicide prevention charity.
Please purchase concert tickets on line at www.ticketsource.co.uk/sussex-folk-orchestra. It is really helpful for setting up a Covid secure concert to know audience size in advance.

The stunning gardens at Highdown Gardens, Worthing will be open for the National Garden Scheme on 15th February
On 15th February Highdown Gardens, Worthing are opening in aid of The National Garden Scheme. Opening times are between 10am and 4.30pm. Admission is by donation to the National Garden Scheme. The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, and raises impressive amounts of money for nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake. Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors the National Garden Scheme have donated over £67 million to nursing and health charities since they were founded in 1927. In 2022, they donated £3.11 million. Beneficiaries include Marie Curie, Macmillan Cancer Support, Parkinson’s UK, Carers Trust and The Queen’s Nursing Institute.
Highdown Gardens have been maintained by Worthing Borough Council for over 50 years on behalf of Highdown Pleasure Ground and Tower Trust. There are 8½ acres of stunning informal gardens on Sussex chalk downland, overlooking the sea, with a unique collection of rare plants and trees. Many were raised from seed brought from China by great collectors like Wilson, Farrer and Kingdon-Ward.
In 2021, as part of a £1million project supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, a visitor centre was opened, sharing the incredible stories of the plants and people that made Highdown what it is today. With new accessible pathways, greenhouses to propagate and protect rare plants and trees, and a sensory garden with a secret sea view, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy at Highdown Gardens.
