Set in the glorious countryside of the South Downs National Park, Petersfield is an ancient market town originally built as a Norman ‘new town’ at the end of the 11th Century. It is now a vibrant place for shopping and eating out.
The main square is an attractive focal point providing the perfect venue for twice weekly markets on Saturdays and Wednesdays. There is a Farmers’ Market on the first Sunday of every month.
Petersfield has a vibrant musical and artistic scene. Music, art and drama can be enjoyed at Bedales Arts in nearby Steep.
