It's about the revolution!

Facinated by old machinery, forges and vintage transport?  - then this is really worth the visit and the kids and you will enjoy experiencing and travelling on the buses of old.

Dedicated to the industrial heritage of the South East, Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre is a 36 acre site set in the South Downs National Park, West Sussex.

The wide range of exhibits at the Museum reflects the changes that have taken place in everyday life from the Industrial Revolution onwards. The collections, which include historic buildings and transport machines, have a particular emphasis on History, Science, Technology and Engineering. The Museum site is unique. With over 40 buildings situated within a chalk quarry ecosystem it offers a rich and varied environment to explore. Many of the exhibits have a strong ‘hands on’ element or are ‘live’ enabling visitors to experience themes, concepts and technologies first hand.

Exhibits include a narrow-gauge railway and bus service (both provide free nostalgic travel around the site), Connected Earth telecommunications hall, electricity hall, printing workshop and much more.

The Museum is also home to traditional crafts people, such as the blacksmith and potter.
