The Wadhurst History Centre – Tel: 07709 296456

The Centre is located down the path to the left of the Commemoration Hall just before the Public Library. It is open on Tuesdays from 10.00AM to 12.30PM, a large sign to the right of the grey door indicating the entrance. We warmly welcome all visitors whether or not they are members of the Wadhurst History Society.

If you are unable to visit on Tuesdays committee members can usually be found hard at work on Thursdays but if you wish to visit then you are advised to phone first to check the Centre’s status.

PLEASE NOTE: On 17th August a severe rain storm resulted in the History Centre being flooded. Fortunately the damage was limited to the floor and none of the Wadhurst History Society’s possessions was affected. However, it has been necessary to close the Centre to allow the concrete floor screed to dry out before redecoration can take place. It is hoped to re-open the Centre in early January 2023
