An open-air archaeological museum set within the rolling countryside of the South Downs, featuring reconstructed ancient buildings, thatched roundhouses and a Roman villa.

The site offers a range of historical settings, including timber-framed and thatched structures, traditional wattle fencing, earth floors, open hearths and furnished interiors. The buildings feature natural materials, exposed timber beams and period-style furnishings, providing ready-made backdrops for historical film and television productions.

Outside, pathways connect the reconstructed buildings, with enclosed areas, traditional gardens and open countryside creating opportunities for wider village scenes and rural filming. The surrounding landscape provides views of fields and hills, with limited modern development visible in many areas.

Experienced in accommodating film and television productions, the museum offers flexible vehicle access, space for unit bases and support from staff familiar with production requirements. Set dressing and controlled filming arrangements can be discussed, with archaeological expertise available to assist with historical accuracy.

Suitable for period dramas, documentaries, commercials, music videos and photography shoots.
