About us

Sussex Traditions is a new Charitable Trust whose aims and purposes are for “the advancement of the arts, culture and heritage and of education, to collect, conserve and make accessible, and to promote and support the understanding, enjoyment and continuation of, Sussex traditions”.

Sussex Traditions will connect our communities to their past, provide them with a fascinating learning resource, and encourage them to develop, nourish and sustain the culture of Sussex and its people into the future.
