Come and discover rescued rural buildings set in a beautiful landscape, which tell the stories of the people who lived and worked in them for over 1,000 years. Explore the 40-acre site and visit the collection – Weald and Downland have more than 50 historic buildings, from a replica Anglo-Saxon hall house to an Edwardian tin church. Enjoy a regular programme of demonstrations, including milling in our 17th-century watermill; cooking in the Tudor kitchen; blacksmithing in the Victorian smithy, baking in the newly opened bakehouse; plus seasonal demonstrations. Take a walk in the woods, bring the dog (we are dog friendly), visit the waterside cafe or enjoy your own picnic. New exhibit buildings include a dairy and bakehouse, near the watermill, plus a late 18th-century barn and early 19th-century stable known as May Day Farm. Need a new hobby or a new skill? Try the day courses in traditional rural trades and crafts or historic building conservation.
Weald and Downland Living Museum
From historic life weekends, exhibitions, courses in traditional trades and crafts and seasonal markets, to a selection of open-air theatre for you to enjoy against the backdrop of the beautiful Museum, there really is something for everyone.
