Editorial
Sundays have changed. When many of us
were growing up, most shops were shut, as
the law required them to be. Substantially
more people attended church, and the
expectation was that it would be a day of
‘rest’, although plenty of activity went on -
car washing, cooking roast dinners, playing
football etc. Pubs were open, but only during
strict licensing hours. Although there’s been
a huge shift since the Sunday Trading Act of
1994, it occurred to us it’s not always clear
what’s open in Lewes and when. We’ve been
doing some investigating to provide a helpful
Sunday opening guide. But we also explore
what else you might get up to on this day.
Since even though it may have lost some of
its status as ‘special’, we still have a soft spot
for the dream of a perfect Sunday.
