Tips & Advice

  • Book your tickets in advance, because the market is ticketed and you must book ahead even if you walk in through the pedestrian entrance.
  • Park at Goodwood Racecourse and use the free park-and-ride, which runs often all day straight to and from the Museum.
  • Blue Badge holders should display their badge clearly in the windscreen on arrival, because the few accessible spaces at the Museum are kept for them.
  • Leave your dog at home this time, because the Museum is normally dog friendly but only assistance dogs are allowed at the market.
  • Members should use their discount code when booking, and anyone who hasn't received it can email membership@wealddown.co.uk with their membership number.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Museum members get a discount on tickets with their member code. The market isn't included in membership.
  • Disabled visitor tickets include one free carer.
  • Children aged 4 and under go free.
