Steyning Society/Museum Dinner |
Revealing Steyning's Social History Our Graveyard Gossip 'app' gives an insight into Steyning's lively social history. You can find out about the lives of many former Steyning residents who lived in the area decades or hundreds of years ago. They include the World War II pilot who undertook secret missions, the smuggler, the suffragette and a soldier from Napoleonic times. All you need is a smart phone to listen to the self-guided audio tour of St. Andrew's Parish Church graveyard - just a short distance from the museum. There is an introductory video here. The 'app' uses Echoes technology (see here) and the tour is suitable for all ages. There is no charge although donations will be welcome. A written transcript is available from the Museum.
There has been a long-standing collaboration between Steyning Museum and the Friends of Steyning Parish Church. An audio tour to the church interior can be found here. |

OPEN WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY Steyning Museum is open Wednesday to Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays from 10.00am right through to 4.00pm. We hope you can come along. There is lots to see and do for all the family, including our children's corner with brass rubbing and mosaic tiles. Steyning is always a lively place on a Saturday, especially on market day (the first Saturday of the month). Car parking near the museum is free and entrance to the museum is free too. |
