Cuckfield Museum
talks
The Museum runs a varied programme of talks throughout the year to which all are invited.
Our November talk, ‘A Sussex Christmas’, will be by local historian Chris Horlock. Chris will reveal how the people of Sussex celebrated Christmas in the past looking at the many customs of the traditional twelve days of Christmas, including putting up decorations, bringing in the Yule log, preparing the Christmas day feast, plus the curious ‘Mummer’s Play’ entertainment. There’s a Christmas tale or two along the way, including a mysterious incident during the great snowstorm of 1881, plus how, in 1939, the snow in Burwash was not the usual colour!
The talk will be held on THURSDAY 12th NOVEMBER at 2.30pm in the Queen’s Hall Council Chamber, Cuckfield.
Tickets are purchased on the door and are charged at £3 for Friends and Patrons, £5 for visitors. Please do drop us a quick note at events@cuckfieldmuseum.org to let us know if you plan to attend so that we can manage numbers.
