Historic buildings, vintage vehicles, costumed characters and more!
Situated in beautiful Hampshire is Milestones Living History Museum, an attraction bursting with nostalgia and history. With cobbled streets and recreated buildings, visitors can relive the good old days from Victorian times to the 1940s.
From the second you arrive at Milestones Living History Museum you are transported back in time in an immersive experience perfect for all ages. Wander the cobbled streets to discover a variety of buildings and shops. Discover the 1940s sweet shop, Abrahams, to stock up on rationed treats, visit the Baverstock Arms for a refreshing pint and stop at the Rooftops Café to fill up in between exploring.
Split across 2 levels, Milestones also includes a painstakingly recreated saddler, ironmonger, milliner and more, giving visitors a glimpse into historical life in Basingstoke.
If you are visiting with children or just looking for a fun day out, check out the boardwalk to discover the history of piers and enjoy traditional beach scenes with photo opportunities and fun mirrors. Visit the penny arcade to discover a selection of vintage arcade games such as penny machines and claw grabbers. There is even a Teddy Bear Museum featuring over 260 vintage bears.
One of the main highlights at Milestones Living History Museum is the vintage vehicles. This impressive collection includes restored vehicles such as a Victorian tram, a Romany caravan, classic motorbikes and a steam-powered fire engine.
There are plenty of options to refuel on your day of adventure with the Baverstock Arms, the perfect spot for refreshments, a vintage tea tent where you can enjoy a selection of cakes and drinks or the Rooftops Café where main meals, light bites and children’s options are served daily.
Throughout the year, Milestones hosts a variety of different events, making a return visit well worth the trip. Later in the year, the famous indoor Christmas market offers an unforgettable experience with over 40 stalls, a reindeer experience and the chance to meet Father Christmas.
