Every Step of the Way – 22 September 2025 to 8 February 2026

This externally curated exhibition shows a range of multi-media works, produced by groups of different artists telling the story of the South Downs Way; the 100 mile long footpath running from Winchester to Eastbourne is broken into 11 roughly equal parts and a number of artists allocated to each section to record their experiences of it in their own particular way.

 

You can visit the exhibition as part of your entry ticket to the Museum. Just book the date you wish to visit from the link below or you can buy a ticket to the Museum on the day.

Information for Visitors

The Museum’s 40 acres site, historic gardens and buildings are fascinating places to learn about rural history. Visitors can purchase grain from the Museum shop and feed the hungry ducks on the mill pond. Whilst enjoying the great outdoors and fresh air, look out for our working animals, which can include the Heavy Horses, Sheep and Ducks. There are a number of lovely woodland trails, including a woodland play area for children to explore.

Why not enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch at our waterside café?  Visitors can also bring a picnic as there are plenty of picnic areas available on site.  Takeaway refreshments will also be available from our seasonal Shepherd’s Huts located around the Museum.

Dogs on short leads are welcome and there is ample free parking. Please note that the Museum is a no-smoking site. Visitors with access needs are advised to read our accessibility page in advance of their visit.
