About

To celebrate the release of their beautiful new book The Long Man & Friends: Sacred Sussex , authors David Bramwell and Philip Carr-Gomm invite you on a mystical pilgrimage to uncover the myths and magick behind our most ancient, sacred Sussex landmarks. Also joining us is Henri Brocklebank, Head of Conservation at Sussex Wildlife Trust, who'll explore her thoughts on how we can protect and conserve our county's sacred natural spaces.

There will be a bar serving alcoholic and soft drinks.

ABOUT THE LONG MAN & FRIENDS: SACRED SUSSEX

Wild, pagan, sacred Sussex. From the glorious goblin-haunted landscape of Devil's Dyke to the magic circle of Chanctonbury Ring, from holy springs and revered yew trees to ancient burial mounds and iconic chalk figures, this book reveals a county criss-crossed with mysterious 'lines of power' linking one sacred place to another. Walk the old tracks with us, uncover the ancient mysteries and let them speak to you.

This petite hardback book contains a Gazetteer of sacred sites and nine magical walks, which will take you on an inspirational journey of magic, mystery and enlightenment.
