EVENTS Photo credit: KOW Images 10cc // 3 Oct Among the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc are one of very few acts to have achieved commercial, critical and creative success in equal measure, with their current live incarnation still able to sell out major concert halls. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of their seminal album, Sheet Music, the band will perform the album in it s entirety, plus other hits including Rubber Bullets, I’m Not In Love, and Dreadlock Holiday – it’s no surprise the band has sold more than 30 million albums around the world. Autumn Countryside Show // 8-9 Oct Visitors to the Autumn Countryside Show on October 8th and 9th will experience the wonderful autumnal sights and sounds of a traditional harvest.

The museum’s 40-acre downland site is the perfect location for this annual festival, which celebrates and showcases many traditional countryside activities. Working plough horses are a favourite with visitors of all ages, with Shires among the teams of draught horses at work.
