Can’t believe we’ve never visited this local gem! Came as a couple but during our visit we decided to upgrade to a household membership (only £20!) so we could come back with the children. Lots to see, already looking forward to visiting again.

A great place to visit, especially for those interested in history. Although it’s a small museum, it offers a good and meaningful experience. It’s highly recommended for the younger generation, as it provides valuable insights and helps them connect with the past in an engaging way. Definitely worth a visit.

Decent place to go, but feels a bit too cluttered. Just too many things going on all at once in one place, almost like everythings been crammed in. The smell stands out quite a bit also. Some pretty things to see, people at reception were lovely. Hopefully things get a little more organised in there

A museum of local history for Seaford and exhibits of other tools and technologies through time including TV and radio, clocks and telephones, typewriters to home computing. Some really valuable historic examples on display and also some interactive features too. Great to see to the local history of Seaford such as lost cinemas, the town through wartime and some old shop and location facias and features. Excellent value entrance price (less than a tenner for the 4 of us) and friendly staff throughout. Well worth a visit. Not a massive location but packed with information and exhibits.

I love this place. I've been visiting this museum since I was a child so it's very nostalgic for me here. They have incredible collections, and the staff are so friendly and informative. Absolutely worth a visit. I need more time here there's just so much to take in. It was good to see the recent quotes from folks living through the covid pandemic for future generations to learn from. Will certainly be returning for a longer visit next time.
