Welcome to Amberley Museum

Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre is a 36 acre site set in the South Downs National Park.

Dedicated to the industrial heritage of the South East, exhibits include a narrow-gauge railway and bus service (both provide free nostalgic travel around the site), Connected Earth telecommunications hall, energy electricity hall, printing workshop and much more.

The Museum is also home to traditional crafts people, such as the stained glass maker, blacksmith and potter, plus a fabulous restaurant, gift shop and numerous picnic areas where stunning surroundings can be enjoyed.

We are open Wednesday to Sunday between 10am and 5pm with the last entry at 3.30pm. We look forward to seeing you!
