EVENTS

Victory Street Art Project // 3 Oct

The ambitious art project at Newhaven Fort (building a model of
Newhaven as it was in 1945 and including areas of bomb damage
and a VE Day street party) continues. Throughout the season visitors
will be able to attend art workshops to create the model from the very
basic contours of the land to the more intricate streets and houses. All
sessions are facilitated by Carol Havard of Art Techniques. Workshops
are included in the price of entry to the Fort, but places should be
booked in advance.

Woodland Weekend // 4-5 Oct

Visitors can learn about woodland crafts in 300 acres of ancient
woodland which is SSSI listed (Site of Special Scientific Interest).
Hollie Ryan, visitor programme manager, predicts a great weekend
for children and parents. She says: “You can toast marshmallows on
the campfire, build a den and follow a Geocache trail in the woods.”
Geocaching has become a very popular pastime worldwide and Hollie
says: “It’s like a big game of hide and seek. We will give visitors a
handheld GPS unit and a list of co-ordinates where boxes of ‘treasure’
are hidden. When you get to each location you have to search
carefully for a box.”

Michael Palin // 3 Oct

In the course of his two-hour show,
Michael brings to life 30 extraordinary
years, from the end of the 1960s when
his oldest child, and a new series called
Monty Python’s Flying Circus, took their
first faltering steps, to the end of the
1990s when Python had become the
most influential comedy team in the world
and Michael was a hugely successful
television traveller. The diverse directions
of his career will be illustrated by a rich
and often rare archive of film, video, photos, and recordings. As forthright
about failure as he is baffled by success, Michael shares with the
audience the often hilarious, always honest, and occasionally downright
embarrassing experiences of a life that can't resist a challenge.

Frank Sinatra: His Way // 7 Oct

Come and enjoy the songs and
remarkable story of Frank Sinatra – his

songs and albums in the world. Awardwinning singer Robert Habermann tells
the whole unexpurgated story, singing
many of Sinatra’s wonderful songs
including: “Come Fly With Me”, “Fly Me
To The Moon”, “Witchcraft”, “You Make

Night”, “My Way”, “New York New York”
and many more.
