Used to go here a few years ago, when it was better laid out, and less expensive…read more I give this rating because of their prices....!! In the present economic climate, few people have the cash to lay out on such high prices. I must say that the quality is good on all items. The museum of agricultural tools are terrific, as is the Art Gallery. There are several businesses with the Centre, and all are pricey ie gin at £45....but some cheaper. Food, whilst attractive, can be expensive. Clothing rail...forget it... Plenty of parking space. Shopping trolleys are too big. The area is so vast that you need your walking shoes.....don't bother if your disabled/elderly. Not the easiest place to get of.....

The South Down's Heritage Centre is located within South Downs Garden Centre and can easily be…read moremissed. It is described as an exhibition of local heritage crafts. It is a free museum and maintained by donations and the Tate family (the owners of the garden centre) It consists of two rooms contain numerous items from the past 150 years or so, all relating to rural crafts found in the local area. These range from blacksmith to carpenter and bee-keeper to farmer. The are a vast number of items on display, but mostly without any form of description or background. They are displayed in rather cramped conditions and it is virtually all static, with just a few items moving - a lathe and a milk cooler. The items are arranged in themes, such as a village shop, a cobblers and a trug maker. The tour of the museum only lasts about ten minutes due to it's compactness. I feel that the museum doesn't do the collection justice - it really needs more room and more boards describing the items. It is not somewhere to plan on going for a whole day, but if you are passing then you can call in and visit, and get a drink or something to eat in the garden centre's cafe.

I live in Canada and needed to send flowers for a funeral for a friend in Burgess Hill. When the…read moreordering website would not work for me, the shop was kind enough to agree to alternate methods of payment. They were kind and understand. The shop communicated with me in a timely manner and despite the time difference we were able to do business together, and I really appreciated that. Most importantly, though, my friend's bereaved family really loved the flowers, said they were beautiful, and that's what mattered to me. I don't live in Burgess Hill but I would heartily recommend this florist shop to anyone who is in need of a reliable florist.
