A beautifully staged sound-and-light show over a detailed scale model of Rye, narrating the town's 700-year history in 20 immersive minutes — a refined orientation before exploring further.
What to expect
You'll sit in a small theatre space as lights and narration bring the model town to life, tracing Rye's transformation from Cinque Port to smuggling haven to genteel market town. It's a compact, elegant introduction that primes you for everything you'll see on foot afterward.
