Weekend Getaway: Making Time for Culture in Sussex
Make a weekend in Sussex count with a short cultural pause at The Novium. With Saturday and Sunday extended hours, even a brief visit can feel rewarding, whether you are arriving by train, car or coach and want a thoughtful break from the everyday.
Saturday for discovery
Saturday suits visitors who want to linger. Start in the historic centre, explore the museum displays, then choose one object to examine more closely. The extended hours give you time to slow down.
- A guided look at local history and archaeology
- A quieter moment for reading interpretation panels
- A chance to connect Sussex stories with today's interests
Sunday for reflection
Sunday offers a different mood: calmer, more reflective and ideal for a gentle outing. Pair a coffee with a walk before arriving at The Novium for a relaxed afternoon.
- Arrive, settle and take in the main displays
- Choose a favourite theme and trace its story
- Leave with one idea to bring into your week
