Our next talk is “City Courtyard to Seaside Sanctuary”, Speaker Geoff Stonebanks, February 14th, 2:30pm at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road. Doors open 2pm.
This event requires pre-booking. Booking will open on 13th January 2024, 8am. Book here.
This is the story of Geoff moving his North London garden (designed and created by others) to Seaford 20 years ago and then creating his garden here at Driftwood, with no gardening knowledge whatsoever. The talk will include his successes in respect of charity fundraising, media coverage in print and on television along with his encounters with royalty.
Due to rising costs, regrettably we have had to raise our prices for talks, to £4 for members and £6 for non-members.
Forthcoming Events 2025
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.
