We have created a visual story to help visitors prepare for their visit. This document will take you through the museum, starting outside the building and throughout the reception, gift shop, coffee shop, and galleries. This will hopefully help visitors remove any anxiety over the unknown and show what you can expect in the museum and how to find facilities that you may need.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our guests – individuals, families and schools – were not able to visit us, so we created some digital resources that bring our Museum to you! These are still available for everyone to enjoy!
Did you know that many of the Christmas traditions we follow today were started by the Victorians? School may be ending for the year, but if you would like to learn at home about how Victorians celebrated Christmas 150 years ago, check out our new video!

We are feeling festive here at the Vale and Downland Museum, so to celebrate, we have taken our popular Step into the Story sessions online! Join us as we share Zoe’s Christmas List, the wonderful picture book by Chloe and Mick Inkpen.
We always end our Step into the Story sessions with a craft activity, and this hasn’t changed with our move online! Use the link below to access a template for your very own Little Bear finger puppet to make and play with at home.
