Tales from the Time Machine
⭐⭐New Exhibition⭐⭐
22 July to 24 November 2025
Jump aboard the Time Machine, travel back through the ages and explore Littlehampton’s past through the Museum’s social history collections!
This fun exhibition encourages all members of the family to interact with the time machine – what date would you travel back to and why? What should the Museum collect in the future? Can you review a museum object and decide if it is relevant to Littlehampton’s history (or not!).
Shaped by the Museum volunteer's experiences of working on Project Time Machine and featuring their selection of objects, this exhibition includes many of the ‘star’ items and hidden histories unveiled during their research, alongside some objects found to be less relevant to Littlehampton's history! A selection of the research packs produced by volunteers for the project are also on display for visitors to browse and find out more about objects, people and places.
Step back in time and explore Littlehampton’s rich seaside heritage in this captivating exhibition in the Butterworth Gallery. Curated by one of the Museum’s dedicated volunteers, The Beach! takes you on a journey through the town’s history as a beloved coastal destination—from the elegant Georgian era to the bustling seaside resort of today.
