Weald & Downland Museum Cafe

Fantastic place to visit 10 out of 10!!! Visited the Repair Shop Barn. (You can look in through the doors when they aren't filming). Well set out. Friendly volunteers on site. We watched different activities that were going on.. Good cafe. Lovely cup of latte. We enjoyed it so much that we brought membership tickets. We will be back.

Stunning history. Was mainly going because of the TV series 'The Repair Shop", but it ended up being a very interesting visit. I love when a nation preserves their identity and culture. Very well done and an excellent way to lose some calories. Very nice people, they love to tell you about their history and past time stories.

I love this place. Old reclaimed buildings from Medieval period onwards. Architecture and History and set in the beautiful rolling hills of West Sussex. All the people at the exhibits were warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about not just the buildings but the people who lived in them, it's a rich social history. You come away grateful that we have advanced so much and homes have double glazing instead of wooden bars. The cafe is great too.

You need a whole day to appreciate everything, so get there early! Take drinks with you, as the refreshment vans close before the main Cafe & if you are facing a hot day & are still exploring you could have 1½ hours without a drink. Staff/volunteers are amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, hard working & welcoming. It's dog friendly, but be aware there are chickens and ducks wandering round. We found parking easy, and there are portable loos dotted about that are well maintained. The houses are just fantastic, collections, displays, working life, living..... Inspiring & fascinating. Well worth the money. We saw where TRS is filmed but as they were actually filming, we're not allowed near it. Children & adults alike will love it. Thank you for a smashing day.

Absolutely fantastic day out. So much to see and some nice activities for the younger visitors like Table Top Jousting. Fun to watch even if your not taking part. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The facilities were clean and plenty of picnic seating. We love to watch The Repair Shop so seeing the barn was very special. I would highly recommend a visit.
