Role in The Community
The Museum acts as a centre for a number of heritage and community activities. The Round Table, the local model railway club and various other organisations hold events there.
The Museum is also used as a venue for public lectures and a start point for guided tours to places in the locality. In March 2007, the Museum hosted the "Spring in Sussex" rally of the 'Original Surrey Chapter UK' of Harley Davidson owners. 20 classic Harley Davidson motorcycles congregated at the Museum. In April 2007 the Museum participated in the "Your Big Sussex Weekend" event organised by East Sussex County Council.

“Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“... to a poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.”
—Sharon Olds (b. 1942)
