Telling the story of Steyning, Bramber, Upper Beeding,
Ashurst, Wiston & Botolphs

The Museum tells the story of our local area from pre-history to the present day.

There are permanent exhibits and temporary displays, so a look around is equally worthwhile for new or regular visitors. If you want to research something in detail, we keep a library and archives. Have a look at our shop too.You can use your own smartphone to access an audio guide to our history and exhibits.
