September 12 @ 10:00 am - September 16 @ 5:00 pm


Edgar’s Tale follows the extraordinary life of South Downs farmer, Edgar Williams, who celebrated his ninetieth birthday in 2025.

Wildwood Heritage are showcasing his life on a South Downs farm since 1941, and presenting some of the artefacts he’s uncovered from the Downland soils.

Edgar’s Tale reveals a long social history, thousands of years of Downland farming heritage, and the remarkable nature of life and work on the South Downs.

This exhibition will be held in the Pump Barn in the Seven Sisters Country Park for the South Downs National Park Heritage Open Days. Come along between 10am-5pm, Saturday 12th – Wednesday 16th September 2026 to find out more!
