The Fallen Britannia Tea Party will be taking place at the D-Day Memorial Hall in Southwick.
The organisers are hoping to make it a really open and welcoming event, not just for their own group, but for the wider local community as well.

Among all the uniforms, equipment and wartime objects on display at Southwick Revival, sometimes it’s the deeply personal pieces that stop you in your tracks.
This wonderful Victory Dress was handmade, carefully decorated with colourful wartime and patriotic motifs, flags, figures and little reminders of the extraordinary years she had lived through.
A beautiful little piece of family history, and a very special part of the display at Southwick Revival.
