There will be trade stalls, demonstrations, performances and a number of fun activities for families and all ages.

The museum’s nature trails have been refurbished with new information boards and children’s activities, thanks to funding from the South Downs National Park Authority’s Covis Recovery Fund.

Spectacular views of the Arun Valley can be enjoyed from the Hillside Trail, or take a more leisurely walk on the Lower Trail.
