Visits to the Museum.
 Come and see our wide range of child-friendly exhibits and the hands-on activities in our children’s corner. We have enough space in the museum for a whole class of children at a time. We can do short whole class sessions and split your class into groups for investigations and other practical tasks.

Costumes & Artefacts
We have children’s costumes from different historical periods and artefacts to handle.
We have recently planned visits on specific topics such as Toys and Games for KS1, Settlements for KS2 and the River Adur for KS3.We also offer historical skills sessions for all ages.

Visits to Schools 
Our experienced educational staff include ex-teachers, who are happy to plan sessions with or for you, tailored to suit your curriculum needs. We can bring a wide range of artefacts for children to observe, handle, investigate and draw. We are happy to plan our visits as whole lessons to meet your requirements.

Site visits
We are happy to lead school visits to Bramber Castle or to take pupils on walks around Steyning to investigate different aspects of Steyning’s past and its setting.

Homework and Project Help for young students
We are always happy to help with homework or historical projects.
Topics might range from Stone Age Steyning through to the Second World War.
