How well do you know the history right on our doorstep? The beautiful Wiston area is packed with incredible stories, and we have rounded up three of our absolute favourites:

⚔️ A Wartime Stronghold: Wiston House has seen plenty of military drama, changing hands twice between Royalists and Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. Centuries later, it played another vital role when the grounds served as the Canadian Army Headquarters during the build-up to the D-Day landings.

🏡 Six Families in a Thousand Years: Talk about keeping it in the family! Since the Domesday Book of 1086, when the area was recorded as Wistanestun, the estate has rarely been sold, passing down through just six families across nearly a millennium. The current owners, the Goring family, have looked after the land since 1743.

Next time you are out exploring Wiston Park or walking the trails, you will be standing on centuries of incredible history!

We’d love to see what you’re enjoying. Let us know which events you’re heading to and share your photos with us, it’s always a pleasure to see the Festival through your eyes. 🤩

And as you move between events, keep an eye out along the High Street. As part of our 20th anniversary year, research has been carried out into the buildings that line this historic stretch, leading to the creation of new blue plaques celebrating the history and vibrancy of our fabulous High Street - thank you to at_emilys_steyning for this photo.

There’s a great deal to discover, on stage, in conversation, and woven into the fabric of the town itself.

Welcome to Steyning Festival 2026! 🎪
