Did you know Spike Milligan was stationed in #Bexhill during WW2? When we reopen for the new season on January 27th, why not come in and find out all about it?

Absolutely.
We were very sorry to learn of the death of John Antrobus on 15 December at the age of 92. John co-wrote 2 Goon Shows with Spike Milligan in 1958 - The Spon Plague (S8E23) and The Great Statue Debate (S8E26). He will be very much missed. May he rest in peace.
