Visitors will be able to take a look around the West Sussex home of hit TV show The Repair Shop this Christmas.

Episodes of the popular BBC One show are filmed inside Court Barn at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in Singleton, near Chichester.

Until now, it's remained closed to the public for filming.

For a limited time over the festive period, visitors will be able to look around the site while also enjoying the other attractions including historic homes, trails and crafts.

Court Barn will be open from Wednesday 16th December until Sunday 31st January.

Simon Wardell, Director of Weald & Downland Living Museum, comments:

"This is an exciting and rare opportunity for people to come and see inside Court Barn which is usually closed to the public, whilst enjoying everything else our Museum has to offer."

The Museum is also extending its opening hours this December and will be open to visitors between Christmas and New Year.

Simon comments:

"People are often looking for things to do in those few days after Christmas to entertain the children and keep the festive feeling alive.

"We hope they will take up this unique chance to visit us during the holidays to enjoy the wonderful winter scenery, live demonstrations and tranquil atmosphere."

Across the 40-acre site, Weald & Downland Living Museum tells the stories of those who lived and worked in rural South East England over 1,000 years ago.

Among the award-winning collection of historic homes, shops and public buildings is a medieval farmstead, market hall, Victorian school, watermill, bakery and even a tin church.
