About our courses and events
During the Covid pandemic and lockdown restrictions, we developed new online offerings to add to our previous ones, such as our popular annual Sussex Archaeology Symposium which remains the main county-wide event each year for the presentation and public discussion of recent archaeological research in Sussex. We have also decided to expand our remit to cover aspects of History, especially the Local History of Sussex and the South-East (hence our new expanded name of The Sussex School of Archaeology and History. Our reasons for such developments are firstly the widespread public appreciation of the likes of Zoom Online Technology, and the massive gaps in our region of the provision of local courses, events and conferences for those interested in archaeology and/or local history.
Our offerings in 2022 included:
The first Sussex History Symposium on Saturday 26th November 2022 at Kings Church, Lewes (10am-5pm)
The Sussex Archaeology Symposium 2022 on Saturday 19th March at Kings Church, Lewes (10am-5pm).
Online Courses: weekly 2-hour classes covering various aspects of archaeology and history
Online Courses: weekend Saturday day schools (10am-4pm)
Online Lectures – ‘Meet the Experts’ – one hour lectures followed by opportunities to question and discuss with the speakers
