Lewes Castle & Museum is currently closed in-line with Government restrictions. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause and look forward to welcoming you again soon.
As a charity we receive no core government funding and rely solely on the generosity of our members and the public. If you would like to support us you can make a donation here.
Climb to the top for stunning panoramic views where you can also see Brack Mount – unusually, Lewes Castle has not one but two castle mounds.
The Museum of Sussex Archaeology next door at Barbican House has local collections from the prehistoric period to the present. A mini-cinema tells the story of Lewes and our bookshop sells new and second-hand books, on the history and archaeology of Lewes, Sussex and the South Downs.
