by | Apr 20, 2026

HAILSHAM MUSEUM HERITAGE CENTRE is open for the Season until the end of October. It will be open to visitors every Friday and Saturday from 10am to 12.30pm and is located between the Kemer Kebab shop and the old Lloyds Bank building and behind the Town Council offices. Entry is free and it is an amazing collection of local historical items. Whether you are interested in old photographs of the town, its ropemaking or farming industries, you will find lots of things of interest here and knowledgeable volunteers from the Hailsham Historical Society will be on hand to answer any questions. Local schools and visits from groups are also welcome and for particularly large groups, bookings outside normal operational hours enquiries can be made by emailing info@hailshamhistoricalsociety.co.uk. Visit the website to find out more at www.hailshamhistoricalsociety.co.uk. Barretts Homes recently made a donation to the Society and the money has been used to buy a laptop and software so that the Society can document and sort records and collections for easier retrieval well into the future.

The Society is also applying for accreditation so that the museum remains feasible and more visible into the future and may be able to open more days.
