The Royal Sussex Regimental Society is a multi-period living history organization dedicated to keeping alive the memory of the regiment and the times in which it served.   We believe that the lessons of the past are the keys to understanding the present.  We can then guide ourselves more wisely into the future.

In every sense, the Society maintains high standards and takes its work seriously, but we also have a good time while doing so. 

Want to get involved?  Consider joining today!
