What visitors say

Bob Davies

The museum is easy to locate by the park. Modest entrance fee with step and ramp access. Inside is a wide variety of exhibits, local history, collections from private explorers. A nice model railway depicting Bexhill with its 3 stations under a snow covered scene. The staff are very keen and knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Well, worth a visit and later return again to view what you missed.

A brilliant little museum at a very reasonable price. The first room was fantastic it was completely full of artifacts from dinosaur bones to Egyptian artifacts it had it all. The fashion room was wonderful and the little video in there on Bexhill was definitely worth a watch. Downstairs the railway was lovely and the staff member in the car room was very knowledgeable. The museum was also great for kids with trails in every room and interactive exhibits there was plenty to entertain the little ones. Overall, it was a perfect day out in Bexhill and definitely worth a visit.

This is the sweetest little place with lots of historical information about Bexhill and lots, lots more of varied interest. Particularly enjoyed the model railway donated by Eddie Izzard which he and his father and brother constructed. Also, there's a fabulous model of Bexhill in the snow. There's a little gift shop reasonably priced as is the admission. Staff there are very friendly and well informed. A little jewel hidden alongside Egerton Park, well worth a visit.
