Brighton Toy and Model Museum is one of the World’s great toy museums.
One hour from London, located in the “artists’ city” of Brighton on Britain’s South Coast, and densely packed into a set of four Victorian cellars under Brighton main terminus station covering four thousand square feet, the museum’s displays draw on a core collection, and guest collections, comprising over twelve thousand items.
Visiting the museum is an immersive visual experience that plunges the visitor into a different world, as seen through the eyes of artists and designers responsible for the Golden Age of British and European toymaking.
Staffed mostly by dedicated volunteers, the museum also carries out nationally and internationally important restoration, research, and digitisation work, and operates a nine thousand page online encyclopedia and image library used by individuals and organisations, worldwide.
BITE Sussex have challenged their spirit making partners to invent a bespoke cocktail that is inspired by one of the toys in the museum’s collection.
David from Curds & Cases in Western Road will also be serving up aperitivo style platters of Sussex cheese and charcuterie.
