intro special events top

Set in our beautiful landscape and buildings, special event days are inspired by the life and times reflected at the Museum and are packed with entertainment for all of the family.

Watch unforgettable displays of heavy horses working, come to a rare breed agricultural show, experience the sights, sound and smells of the countryside at harvest time or discover the traditions of a Sussex Christmas.

And don’t forget; every half term and throughout the summer there are creative activities and countryside skills for children to experience.

These and many more events are included in the standard Museum admission.
