The Big Draw Mural
on display from November at
Steyning Museum
Church Street

The Big Draw Mural was created by all those who came along to our art workshop on Saturday, October 8. The Big Draw at Steyning Museum was part of an annual national event (click here to see more).

This year's theme was transport across the ages. There were many great art and craft materials, thanks to our Co-operative Community Fund grant. The wonderful result of everyone's creative efforts is now on display in the museum porch.

Were you part of it? If so, come along to show off your work to friends and family, and if you are wondering what it is all about - come along and see!

All on Friday afternoons, 2-5pm

The WEA has organised, in conjunction with Steyning Museum, three courses on the early history of Steyning and its locality which will be of particular interest to Friends of the Museum and of practical use to stewards.

3 & 10 FEBRUARY, 2012
Steyning under our feet and under our houses: In this two session course, archaeologist Judie English will investigate the Roman and Saxon invasions of our region, and the impact that these had on the culture and day to day life of the people who lived in and around Steyning.

OPEN ALL DAY SATURDAY
For visitors

Steyning Museum is open on Saturdays from 10.30am right through to 4.00pm (4.30 in the summer months).

In other words, there is no lunch time closing on Saturdays - so 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 at the museum is free and entrance to the museum is free too.

Everyone has a story to tell . . .



Do you live locally or have Steyning connections?
Help Steyning Museum to record our past.

Did you experience wartime in Steyning - the Land Army, the Home Guard, the British Resistance? Were you educated in Steyning and have memories of the Grammar School? Did you travel on the Horsham Flyer? Do you have information about the market, local farms or traders? Do you remember the Silver Jubilee celebrations and the carnival floats? Have you been involved with local sports clubs or any of the dozens of local clubs and societies? Did you spend your childhood in Steyning or were you an evacuee here?

There are a myriad of topics and tales to tell. We want to hear from you. Our interviews will be informal and hopefully enjoyable.

If you feel you may be able to help, please make contact. Leave your name and telephone number with a brief idea of your topic at the museum for Anne Ketteman, or leave a message for her on telephone number 01903 813333.
