Discover Petersfield

The market town of Petersfield is living through exciting times. Founded in the 11th century, the town rejoices in a strong community spirit and a sense of purpose.

Petersfield is a great place to live, work and have fun. Broadly, there is a vibrant retail and business sector – notwithstanding the 2008 economic downturn in other parts of the UK. Local people want Petersfield to thrive and grow, while sustaining its treasured historical heritage.

In the centre of town, enjoy the Flora Twort Museum, the Physic Garden, the Petersfield Museum, and the Norman church of St Peter’s – all. You will find a powerful presence of theatre, music – including the Petersfield Music Festival, the Operatic Society, the Petersfield Youth Theatre, the Winton Players, the Lion and the Unicorn Players, the Petersfield Theatre Group, Write Angle Poetry Cabaret, and many more.

And look out for a wide choice of the arts, sport, and great pubs and restaurants in and around the town.

Beautiful countryside surrounds Petersfield, with the South Downs, the Queen Elizabeth Country Park and Butser Hill to the south, the Hampshire Downs to the west, and the tree-lined hills of Hill Brow and Durford to the north east.
