Best Family Attraction in Sussex

We’re delighted to announce that we have been voted as best Family Attraction in Sussex for the second year running in the regional Muddy Stilettos awards.

As winners, we will automatically be put through to the inaugural National Muddy Stilettos Awards 2023 which will be judged throughout the Summer.

Speaking about the award, Simon Wardell, Museum Director said: “We are delighted to have been recognised as best family attraction in Sussex and would like to thank everyone that voted. The award reflects the hard work of the whole team, which includes not only staff, but also volunteers and the local community. It inspires us to keep enhancing our visitor experience, events programme and maintaining our unique historical collections and artefacts which make the Museum such a special and captivating attraction for all ages.”

We have a packed programme of family fun planned throughout July and August from outdoor theatre experiences to summer holiday activities and special historic events including The Story of Steam and The Big Bake Weekend.
