Chichester District Museum

Housed in an 18th-century corn store, Chichester District Museum is the place to come and find out about the local history, geology and archaeology of Chichester. The Museum has a temporary exhibition gallery, and an education and events space, the Discovery Room. The Musuem provides many services including exhibitions and events, walks and talks, education and outreach, history and archaeology enquiries, artefact identification and the museum shop. The museum also runs The Guildhall, a rare medieval survival. Once part of a Franciscan friary church, the Guildhall became Chichester's town hall and courthouse in 1541. One of the many people tried in the Guildhall was the poet and artist William Blake.

Chichester District Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday 10.00am - 5.30pm and closed Sundays, Mondays and public holidays. Please contact the museum for details of Christmas opening.

Admission free.
