Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Brickworks Museum
Heritage Open Day: Visit The Brickworks Museum during Heritage Open Days and come in for free. A great opportunity to find out what this hidden gem of a Hampshire museum is really like... The Brickworks Museum features 125 years of brick making history under one roof. Experience the journey that clay takes on its journey to becoming a brick as you walk through our authentic, engaging experience.
With plenty to see and do for all ages, a visit to the Brickworks Museum evokes life at the industrial heart of Victorian Britain.
Our site has a café, accessible facilities, a working vintage arcade (small charge for old pennies to operate the machines), room reconstructions, glimpsing life from the 1900s and 1970s plus over 4,000 historic bricks. Think bricks are boring? You'll think again when you find out some of the stories behind the local brickmakers and see just how many different kinds of bricks there are.
New for 2025, talks on both days - details will be on our website.
