Come and enjoy this wonderful season among our historic buildings and beautiful downland landscape.
As green shoots and new life pop up all over the Museum, we have some great events for the whole family to enjoy.
Joining our recently opened Bakehouse earlier in the year, we look forward to our stunning new Dairy opening this summer.
Just another great reason to visit the Museum, with fantastic demonstrations giving you a taste of the fascinating stories we tell across the Museum.
