TITLE:  HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS OF LEWES - ZOOM TALKS

WEEKLY ZOOM MEETINGS RUN BY LEWES GUIDED WALKS

Time: Monday mornings from 10-11am

Conveners: Mary Burke & Kim Bishop of LEWES GUIDED WALKS

Continuing our popular Zoom talks. We will be repeating some from previous years interspersed with new talks highlighting some famous local writers and a look at South Malling. We take turns to give these talks using our own photographs, where possible, to illustrate our sessions with power points. The fee (£10 for all the sessions) pays for the Zoom license. You can either follow all the topics or pick and choose which sessions to watch. We encourage you to join in and ask questions during the sessions and add information from your own experiences. Please contact burke.mf@gmail.com to join the group.

Programme 10 Sessions: Winter 2026 All start at 10am Monday Mornings
