GENERAL VISITORS
We review our opening sessions on a monthly basis: please call ahead to check for the latest information.
PLEASE NOTE: Last admission is 2 hours ahead of the advertised closing time.
We will be open daily through the East Sussex school holidays.
SCHOOLS / GROUPS
We accept pre-booked groups / schools every day: booking essential.
It really helps us if you book in advance through this website (PayPal required) as we are still carefully monitoring visitor numbers and controlling session dates in line with visitor demand and employee availability.
Online booking closes at 23.59 on the evening ahead of each date. If you miss the deadline, or don't want to use PayPal to pre-book you can pay on arrival; but please do check we are open and call ahead before starting your journey...
