Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Steyning was one of the rotten boroughs abolished by the Great Reform Act of 1832 so it has some unique history around that. The museum capitalises on some of that history but it could do more. Unfortunately, its "no photography" policy "due to unexpired copyright" means that we could not record as much of what it contained as we would have liked. Still, worth visiting if you are in the area. But, if you are, don't miss the local parish church just along the road!

The museum is located in a modern well lit building near to one of the village car parks. There are many exhibits with many themes including the buildings, the trades and importantly the people. Whilst small, there is a lot to see, and there are changing elements to the museum so it bears repeat visits.
The volunteer staff are very friendly and ready to help with questions.
A lovely place for young and old to visit!

Checked out this little gem. Just had a few minutes before closing but wanted to view the items associated with the disused railway. Friendly volunteers. Will visit again with more time.

Excellent local museum, with detailed local history and artefacts. Though it's small, it's interesting and well organised. You could easily spent over an hour there. It's a shame can't take photos.

Taking a walk down memory lane. I was brought up in the Steyning area. Lovely people keen to share and listen to my memories too.

We were wandering around this beautiful old West Sussex town one morning recently and found ourselves stumbling into this little museum. OK, honestly we were looking for toilets... But whilst we didn't find any toilets we found ourselves pausing to study many of the exhibits in this fascinating little place. Clearly a lot of loving attention had been taken to build up this museum. I liked the little clothes rack where younger vistors could dress up in period costume. And, this town and the surrounding area really does have a rich and varied history.
If it weren't for burgeoning bladders I'm sure that we would have stayed longer...

Very interesting, and the volunteers on duty were really pleasant, helpful and very interested in their history. No pictures are allowed, but they should really take a couple just to put on this site. There is a section for research, some things for children to do, and the exhibits are very well done. Definitely worth a stop. From High street, turn on Church street. If you've come to St. Andrews Church, you've just passed it on the right.
