The Swan Inn

Red Lion St, Midhurst, GU29 9PB

Historic coaching inn overlooking the market square and offering a welcoming atmosphere for live music performances.

This is a grade 2 listed building and as such we are unable to make adaptations to the building to make it accessible to people with severe mobility issues. There are steps to every entrance to the building and stairs to the rooms.
