Beer Flight
7pm
John Harvey Tavern, Lewes BN7 2AN.

We're delighted to invite all participants of our recent Harvey's Brewery Tour to continue the experience with an informal evening at the John Harvey Tavern, which offers a great-value beer flight for just £5.00. You'll receive three one-third pint glasses and can choose any three different Harvey's beers from the ten available at the bar. One of these beers is exclusive to the John Harvey Tavern, making this a perfect opportunity to try a brew you can't get anywhere else. You're welcome to buy additional flights throughout the evening. There's also a special offer for wine lovers. Advanced bookings only. For more information, please contact Judith Pyett.

Partial Solar Eclipse
6:00pm to 8:10pm
Seaford Seafront, BN25 1JH

A free family-friendly event to view a partial eclipse of the Sun from Seaford seafront, near the Martello Tower at the eastern end of the esplanade. We will experience a deep partial solar eclipse, with the Sun about 91% obscured by the Moon at maximum. Locally, the eclipse begins at 6:17pm, reaches maximum at 7:13pm, and ends at 8:06pm. Committee members will hand out special eclipse glasses, set up our hydrogen-alpha solar telescope, and other telescopes and cameras safely configured for viewing the Sun. Parking is free. By public transport, there are half-hourly direct trains to Seaford from Lewes and from Brighton, about 20 and 35 minutes duration respectively.
