Discovery Days
Join us for an afternoon exploring a different side of Amberley Museum. Amberley is famous for its narrow-gauge railway, communications displays and vintage buses, but there are other parts of the museum which are less well-known. Our new programme of Discovery Days give you the chance to discover another side to the museum as part of an afternoon tour and hands on experience. Discovery Days are held monthly covering a range of different themes. Tickets are £5 per person on top of usual admission charges, with a maximum of 20 places.
