1980s Weekend

Transport yourself back in time to the raddest decade of them all!

Join us for an epic 80’s weekend at Amberley Museum filled with nostalgia, excitement, and hands-on fun for the entire family on 27-28 July.

Amberley Museum, nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, will transform into a vibrant celebration of the 1980s. This two-day event promises to transport you back in time with an array of 80’s memorabilia, interactive exhibits, and demonstrations.

Event Highlights:

• Retro gaming:

Test your gaming skills on some 1980s games consoles with Gaming Retro-bution.

• 80s Nostalgia:

Explore objects from across the museum with our self-led trail highlighting everything from the Yuppie ‘brick’ phone to a ZX Spectrum. Find out more about 1980s inventions from the worlds of printing, telecommunications and broadcasting, with our knowledgeable volunteers.

• Vehicle Displays:

See a spectacular showcase of cars, cycles, motorbikes, and other vehicles from the 1980s. Take a ride on a 1980s-era bus or behind one of our 1980s diesel locos. And look out for  the Sinclair C5 in action!

• 1980s Memories:

Visit the Telephonic Youth project to see telephones and memorabilia from British Telecom’s collections, before trying your hand at children’s quizzes and games produced by BT in the 1980s.

• Hands-On:

Get involved with our family trail on an espionage theme, put yourself in the picture with our free-play TV screen and take the Rubik’s cube challenge!

• Come say hello to your friendly neighbourhood Ghostbusters!

The Sussex Ghostbusters are a costumed charity fundraising team serving the county of Sussex, UK. They are officially recognised by Ghost Corps as an official Ghostbusters franchise.

With plenty happening indoors and out, this event promises something for all ages, come rain or shine!

Please pre-book tickets to avoid disappointment.
