A Message from our Curator
As an eight-year-old, I was first taken to the County Ground in Hove as part of a summer outing from Prestonville Prep School to watch a day of Championship cricket. We were able to sit on the grass inside the boundary in the southwest corner.

The Aims of the Museum
The Sussex Cricket Museum and Educational Trust aims to advance the education of the public in the history and the development of cricket by establishing a museum for the permanent exhibition and preservation of items of educational and/or historical value and in particular with regard to Sussex Cricket.
To achieve this, the museum aims to acquire, document, protect and preserve, and exhibit the history of Sussex Cricket. The Museum’s additional aim is to research, promote and publicize the history of Sussex Cricket for the benefit of all those interested, wherever they might live. The role of the website is to help promote the collection of the Museum, and help encourage a greater understanding of the history of Sussex Cricket.
How are we run?
The full name of the organisation is ‘The Sussex Cricket Museum and Educational Trust’ referred to as SCMET. SCMET has members who are responsible for the appointment of Trustees/Directors who then have the role of managing the Trust.
The day to day work of running the museum and preparing and maintaining exhibitions is done by the Curator and a team of volunteers.
Friends and Patrons of the Museum
The support of Friends and Patrons of the Sussex Cricket Museum (SCM) is pivotal to our very existence. All the money raised is invested directly into creating the exhibitions in SCM and into the interactive computer software as we continue to build the educational side of the museum. Read On
