Tutorial events for kids at Stanmer Park
If you missed booking a Sussex Wildlife Trust event for your children at Woods Mill, or if the dates weren’t right, then you might want to consider the rather similar range of events at Stanmer Park. For crows, Stanmer Park is much further away from Fulking than Woods Mill, but the travel time in a car is only five to ten minutes longer.
- Tuesday 6 August: Woods Mill – Watery World
- Wednesday 7 August: Stanmer Park – Super Shelters
- Tuesday 13 August: Woods Mill Summer – Groovy Gardens
- Wednesday 14 August: Stanmer Park Summer – Tracks & Signs
- Tuesday 20 August: Woods Mill Summer – Terrific Trees
- Wednesday 21 August: Stanmer Park Summer – Terrific Trees
Party at Saddlescombe
The Argus reports:
Up to 400 revellers partied at an all-night rave at the weekend. The secret party started just before midnight on Saturday and was still going on Sunday afternoon. Entry was forced to fields adjacent to Saddlescombe Farm, near Devil’s Dyke. The National Trust asked party goers to respect nocturnal animals in managed areas. .. An organiser behind Fraktal, one of four soundsystems onsite, said: “The landowner was briefly on site on Sunday and said he had no issues with the event as long as all rubbish is cleaned up afterwards.”

Tim O’Connor RIP
If you recall the name ‘Russell Bishop’ at all, you probably assume that he is in jail for the murder of Karen Hadaway and Nicola Fellows at the Wild Park in Moulsecoomb. But he isn’t. He’s in jail for the attempted murder of a seven-year-old girl at Devil’s Dyke in 1990. The cop who put him away has just died.
The Masterplan
A free concert in which a reformed 0asis perform their old B-sides in Stanmer Park? No, sorry. More like an exercise in which B&HCC attempts to get external funding for all those tasks that have been left undone since Brighton Corporation took the estate over back in 1947. However they are providing an excellent large-scale PDF map of the park which may prove useful next time you visit.
