by | Apr 20, 2026

HAILSHAM MUSEUM HERITAGE CENTRE is open for the Season until the end of October. It will be open to visitors every Friday and Saturday from 10am to 12.30pm and is located between the Kemer Kebab shop and the old Lloyds Bank building and behind the Town Council offices. Entry is free and it is an amazing collection of local historical items. Whether you are interested in old photographs of the town, its ropemaking or farming industries, you will find lots of things of interest here and knowledgeable volunteers from the Hailsham Historical Society will be on hand to answer any questions. Local schools and visits from groups are also welcome and for particularly large groups, bookings outside normal operational hours enquiries can be made by emailing info@hailshamhistoricalsociety.co.uk. Visit the website to find out more at www.hailshamhistoricalsociety.co.uk. Barretts Homes recently made a donation to the Society and the money has been used to buy a laptop and software so that the Society can document and sort records and collections for easier retrieval well into the future.

The Society is also applying for accreditation so that the museum remains feasible and more visible into the future and may be able to open more days.

THE DAVIDSON AFFAIR

by | Mar 23, 2026

THE DAVIDSON AFFAIR is a modern take on the events of Holy Week, based on the novel by Stuart Jackman. Executed for treason on Friday, Davidson (Jesus, the Son of David) is rumoured to be alive again on Sunday. Cass Tennel, TV reporter, flies to Jerusalem to investigate and finds himself plunged into a tense political crisis. Out of a tangle of conflicting reports, he struggles to construct a documentary programme, which will reflect the truth about Davidson. But what is the truth? And how can Tennel, his cameraman Greg, and the millions of viewers come to terms with it? Through interviews with Pilate, Caiaphas, Thomas, Zechariah, Mary Magdalen and Cleopas, the story unfolds. This production will be performed as an informal play for voices at All Saints Church, Herstmonceux, on Palm Sunday, March 29, at 6pm. Refreshments from 5pm. All welcome. Admission and refreshments are free of charge.
