Friends of Henfield Museum

The Friends were established in 2014 and currently have over 70 members. 

Our aim is to support, promote and improve Henfield Museum, while breathing life into the stories behind the people and objects that make up our local history. Henfield Museum acts as a guardian and conservator of artefacts telling the story of our area from the Stone Age to today. Friends gain free or discounted access to our talks and trips, receive our newsletter and can support our research (both written and oral histories), publishing activities and museum acquisitions funding. The Friends lead and support a number of standalone and ongoing heritage projects as well as providing finance for museum acquisitions.

Membership of the Friends is open to all who are interested in preserving the heritage of Henfield and our local area. Individual membership is open to 18+, inclusion in a family membership is open to all. We would welcome anyone who would like to offer their time or specific expertise either on or working with the Committee.

Individual membership: £10. 

Family membership (inc. one or two parents and children under 18): £15. 

Corporate membership: please enquire for current fee. 

Life membership: please enquire for current fee.

We also run occasional events including history talks, trips to other museums or sites, plus socials. They are most often during the week, but can occasionally be on a weekend. Non members are always welcome to attend talks. Meeting costs vary, but we always aim to keep them affordable where a charge is applied. Local talks are usually free to Friends, trips further afield are usually £5 – £15.
