Events

Our next talk is “HMS Forward & the Denton Tunnels”, by Frankie Pulham, 10/10/25 7:00PM at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road. Doors open 6:30PM.

This event requires pre-booking. Booking opens 22/09/25. Book here 

Hidden underneath Heighton Hill near Newhaven are a series of tunnels. During the second World War these formed a secret intelligence centre, known as HMS Forward. Its purpose was to provide intelligence on everything moving in, on or under the English Channel. Frankie’s talk will inform you of the secret workings of HMS Forward.

Forthcoming Events 2025

(All talks are held at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road, Seaford, BN25 1HA, unless otherwise indicated.)  The theatre has plenty of wheelchair access.  If you can, please let us know if you need a wheelchair space and how many companions you will be with, so that we can organise places in advance. 

From 2025, we are introducing online booking for our talks.  This is because they have become very popular and we have found ourselves turning people away at the door.  We decided it was more convenient for people to know whether they had a place before making the journey to the theatre.

Booking will usually open on the Monday after the previous talk has taken place.  There will be a link to the booking site on this page.
