Layout of museum & displays in each room:

The Midhurst Museum now has four rooms, each with a different theme & style:

Museum 1

Museum 1 was our original Museum in 2011 and has a regular change in theme.

The programme for 2025 includes Babycham, Mugs, Graffham, VE Day 80th anniversary commemoration, The River Rother and Chichester Festival Theatre.

Museum Two

Museum 2 was opened in 2016 and provides a timeline of Midhurst from the Stone Age to the end of the twentieth century

Museum 3

Museum 3 was opened in 2023. Our best description of the room is that it is a physical manifestation of the inside of Dave Rudwick’s head. It contains a vast quantity of items from yesteryear and is part of the huge collection of Dave and his brother Tim, who have been collecting since they could walk.

Museum 4

Museum 4 was opened in 2023. It contains items relating to:

Albery & Lucas, Victorian solicitors

Stuart Angel, Sussex Yeomanry and estate worker at the Cowdray Estate

An early 20th century infant school

General Victoriana
