We have been asked to put on a display at Fishbourne Roman Palace Near Chichester on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd June 2018.
It is called the "Ancient Gardens Event “and we will be displaying garden and agricultural tools. I will set up the display but would like help with manning this event.
It is an opportunity for us to look around the site if we get enough volunteers.
