We are a two minute drive from the A3. Take the A3 between Petersfield and Portsmouth, and come off at the Clanfield exit. Follow the brown signs to Butser Ancient Farm, or directions to Chalton. The entrance to the farm is halfway down the hill on your right.

Take the train to Petersfield. Catch the Number 37 bus from Petersfield to Clanfield, and come off at the Hampshire Hog in Clanfield. We are a 20 minute walk down the hill from the Hampshire Hog. Please be aware that parts of this walk are on the road with no pavement.

Alternatively, get off at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, and walk 40 mins on the bridleway. This path is longer, but more pleasant and safer as there are fewer parts on the road. Please be aware this route includes a stile.

Please remember to check bus and train times before planning your journey! (Unfortunately buses don’t tend to run on a Sunday)

Normally we can’t allow people to stay overnight on site unless it is part of an event or workshop offering. Here’s some nearby accommodation.

There’s always heaps to see and do at Butser, with hands-on activities for all ages running every admission day, free children’s trails, living history demonstrations, and more. Or simply relax by the fireside and soak in the stunning South Downs atmosphere if you prefer! See what’s at Butser →

Your whole family is welcome for day admission, including your four-legged friends! To respect our other visitors, please keep your dogs on a leash and be sure to clean up after them.

At our other events we can only welcome assistance dogs, so please check the information on the event to be sure!

We serve light refreshments in our Visitor Centre, including hot and cold drinks, and sweet and savoury snacks.

We also offer a selection of sandwiches and delicious cakes when we are open at weekends and school holidays.

You’re also welcome to bring your own picnic if you prefer.

Across the site you can find picnic benches, or if it’s wet you can cosy up on a bench by the fire in one of our historic buildings!
