A history day will be held in a Norman manor house to celebrate 1,000 years of heritage.
The free event will be staged at Portslade’s Norman ruins in the Old Village on September 7.
Guests can take part in activities such as a tour of the Portslade conservation area, which includes buildings dating back to 1540, a tour of the former convent and grounds, history lectures and more.
The manor house will be open for people to take a look around and learn about the local impact of the Battle of Hastings.
There will be plenty of activities for children, such as medieval arts and crafts and games to win prizes.
The Grade II listed manor house is described as “Brighton and Hove’s oldest house” and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The day is part-funded by the government and Brighton and Hove City Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
