WHERE
Pevensey
What it’s like
A free look round a sixteenth-century building in Pevensey, open for a summer exhibition you can just walk into.
This is a proper old building, dating back to the sixteenth century, and it opens its doors for an exhibition through August and September. Entry is free, which makes it an easy one to add to a day out without watching the clock on what you're spending.
There's no set list of activities laid out, but the pitch is straightforward: you wander round the historic building and take in whatever the exhibition is showing that year. It suits a slower kind of visit rather than one built around things to press buttons on, so it probably works best if your kids are old enough to be curious about an old house rather than needing something to climb on.
You don't need to book ahead. The site says walk-ups are welcome during opening hours, 11am to 5pm across August and September, though there's also the option to arrange a visit by appointment if you want to go outside that window. Given it's free and flexible, it's the sort of stop you could slot in on a whim if you're already in Pevensey rather than something you'd plan a whole day around.
