North Street Car Park and the adjacent bus station are the main arrival points for visitors to the town. The area boasts some of Midhurst’s iconic attractions including Cowdray Ruins and South Downs National Park Headquarters and Visitor Centre. Sadly the area was dominated by a poorly maintained, unattractive building and badly planted brick beds.

Midhurst Vision volunteers and partners were delighted to come together on 4th June to celebrate the opening of the first Vision project at The Grange. Attendees included partners from all local authorities - county, district and town, South Downs National Park Authority, Cowdray Estate, The Grange Leisure Centre, Deacon Design, Kieron Beattie Landscapers, Fitzpatrick Woolmer Signs, Hooli Design and local business owners.
