Lewes Castle and Museum of Sussex Archaeology is now open Friday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm throughout September.
Entry will be via the museum entrance in Lewes High Street and a one-way system will be in place to allow for social distancing. Some galleries will be closed, as well as one of the castle towers and normal entry prices will be reduced accordingly.
Please be aware that, in line with government guidelines, face masks must be worn inside the museum and shop.
Opening dates for October have not yet been decided.
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.
