Kevin Newman, history teacher and Sussex author, presents his new family talk All Creatures Great & Sussex, bringing to life light-hearted tales of Sussex’s creatures through the centuries.

From the animals that have fed and fought us, to those that have protected us and even a few that have tried to kill us! This entertaining talk explores the fascinating, funny and sometimes surprising relationship between people and wildlife. Expect stories of quirky pets, creepy creatures and plenty to make the whole family laugh.

This summer, Leonardslee Gardens is proud to welcome The Lord Chamberlain’s Men for the very first time, presenting Shakespeare’s Othello- one of the most powerful tragedies ever written.

Step back in time and experience Shakespeare as it was originally performed. With a rich heritage tracing back to Shakespeare’s own company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men bring this timeless story to life in true Elizabethan style, featuring an all-male cast, authentic costumes, live music and dance. When Othello promotes Cassio over Iago, it sparks a dangerous chain of manipulation that leads to tragic consequences.

“Put out the light, and then put out the light.”

Bring a chair and enjoy a powerful, atmospheric evening of outdoor theatre. Book early to avoid missing out.
