What is The Sussex Egyptology Society?
Formed on the 10th of September 1996, the Sussex Egyptology Society (SES)
grew out of an evening study course in Egyptology attended by about 30
enthusiastic amateurs.
Several of the students on that course still serve on the committee of the
society, which in the years since has grown into one of the major Egyptology
groups in the UK.
A
registered charity (No 1060748), the SES runs an outstanding annual
programme of monthly lecture meetings, attracting leading Egyptological
specialist speakers from the UK and overseas.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE - AUGUST 1, 2020
Having had to suspend our lecture meetings and study-days since
March, we were planning to resume our programme in September if possible.
However, owing to venue closures, and travel difficulties for our speakers,
we have now decided to postpone all lecture meetings for the remainder of
2020. We hope to begin our new programme on January 30, 2021, at our
Worthing venue.
Please keep an eye on this website for further information, and also on
our Facebook page if you have access to it. And by all means phone a
Committee member if you are in doubt about whether our events are happening
or not.
In the meantime, in the ancient Egyptian tradition, we wish you all: Life!
Prosperity! Health!
