The Royal Sussex Society is a living history organization which brings the life and times of the British soldier and civilian alive. We focus primarily on the 18th and 19th Centuries. We are a regimental timeline unto ourselves and have members in NJ, NY, PA, CT, and even WV. The majority of our activity takes place within a three or four hour radius of New York City.
If you are interested in joining the 35th Royal Sussex, whether you are a man or a woman, there will be a place for you as a member. While we enjoy ourselves and always try to make every gathering fun and pleasant, we also know that we are acting as representatives of the memories of the men and women of the regiment spanning three centuries. Therefore, we strive for excellence in our portrayals, our displays, and our behavior. Anyone can join the Society and we welcome any questions you may have.
