Culture Club

Culture Club meets again at The Crown on Sunday 6 December, the first Sunday of the month. It's a monthly discussion group for grown-ups who love books, podcasts, films, art and all things cultural, and it holds its sessions in the snug of The Crown in Hastings Old Town. New members are always welcome, so if you've never been before, this is as good a time as any to join in.

The group works around a recurring question: whether high culture still has a place in a troubled world. It's a broad starting point that lets the conversation pull in a wide range of things, and the preparation list reflects that. Past sessions have drawn on a Grey Area podcast episode, a couple of films and James Marriott's book The New Dark Ages, so the discussion tends to move between different formats rather than sticking to one. If you're into that kind of thing, it's a good way to spend a Sunday morning.

It's a regular fixture, meeting on the first Sunday of every month at 10:45am, and the next one is Sunday 6 December. You'll find it at The Crown, 64-66 All Saints St, Old Town, Hastings, TN34 3BN. There's no booking needed in advance: just turn up on the day. Entry is free.
