Come and Visit the Museum
New Museum Building

In its purpose built location on the site of the old cattle market, East Grinstead Museum invites you to discover the town and surrounding area.

The exciting new displays focus on the history of the town and its surrounding villages; using artefacts, memorabilia and images, interspersed with touch screen interactives and a specially edited film about East Grinstead. There is also a dedicated ‘hands on’ area, the Curator’s Corner, for younger visitors.

Our research room is available for research into local history, genealogy and other themes. As well as books, directories, pamphlets and journals, there is a computer with access to a database of an increasing number of our 14,000 images of the area and objects in the Collection, our books catalogue and the internet.

There are temporary exhibitions focusing on local organisations and anniversaries that change on a regular basis.

Family orientated activities are held through out the year.
School parties and other groups are welcome by arrangement.
