Old Club members keep the 200 year old tradition alive with the annual Whit Monday ‘march and feast’, this year to be held on May 29 at South Harting.

The annual Harting Festivities, which will take place on Whit Monday at 11am, is set to include craft stalls, a carousel, dog show, sheep shearing, and live music. The annual ‘Harting Festivities’ developed around the Old Club march, and has existed in some shape or form since the 1800s.
