Residential Stays in West Sussex

If you are interested in visiting the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum as part of a residential visit to Sussex then the Museum would recommend the Lodge Hill Centre as an ideal residential venue.

The Lodge Hill Centre is located in West Sussex; it offers residential, camping facilities and a vast array of outdoor activities. The centre can sleep up to 72 in the main house in shared bedrooms and 100 on the campsite under canvas. The centre has different rates for the high and low season and is well equipped to accommodate groups aged from 8 year olds upwards.
