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.

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.

She would love it if anyone would like to join her over the 24 hours for a small donation to keep her going and for the fun then just book on the website, so she knows you are coming. You could even learn a few steps if you wish by joining in.
