Victorians Exhibition
Victorians Exhibition, Littlehampton
Littlehampton Museum is inviting visitors to travel back in time with Victorians, a new exhibition running from 23 May to 2 November which is bringing to life the people who lived in the town during the Victorian era (1837–1901). Through personal stories, contemporary accounts, and objects from the museum’s collections, the exhibition charts Littlehampton’s remarkable transformation from a quiet fishing village into a bustling seaside resort with a thriving harbour, trading goods from all over the world.
· Discover the stories behind family businesses, some of whose names are still familiar today
· Let your little ones have a go at running a Victorian sweet shop
· Explore the realities of everyday life, including the town’s notorious sewage problems
· Enjoy hands-on activities designed for all the family
“This exhibition is packed full of people’s stories; there is so much to explore!” said Councillor Freddie Tandy Chair of Littlehampton Town Council’s Community Resources Committee, “you can even see one of Queen Victoria’s nightdresses, donated by a local family whose grandmother was part of the Queen’s household”.
As always, entry to the Museum is FREE. For opening hours, please check: https://www.littlehamptonmuseum.co.uk

Arundel Museum Exhibition: Women’s Land Army
Arundel Museum Manager, Arundel
War affected every section of society, not just the military. More food needed to be produced and, as men were recruited into the armed services, there were fewer hands to do the work. At the same time, farmers were being pressed to convert more land to arable from pasture. Women had always been involved in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but now their contribution was critical…
This exhibition will explore the practicalities of how the Land Army was organised, the key figures involved and some of the challenges that were encountered along the way. Despite the misgivings, and sometimes the hostility, of politicians, civil servants, landowners, farmers, trade unions and foresters, who doubted that women would be able to undertake the range of farm work, and very often failed to give WLA leaders and volunteers the credit and recognition they, the women of ‘the Cinderella service’, deserved.
With thanks to Dr John Godfrey for his writing and research for this exhibition.
Entry to the exhibition is included in your Museum entry ticket.
Please Note : Exhibition is not open on Wednesday mornings
