As part of the Artists Open Houses Festival, the Art in Ditchling Trail is a walkable feast of inspiration! Park your car for free and wander through the village to visit ten venues: homes, studios, workshops, and galleries. Stop on the way in one of the charming pubs and cafés in Ditchling, perfect for a mid-day coffee, lunch, or afternoon tea.

As you explore the Trail, you will find all sorts of fine products, from drawings, paintings, and prints to sculptures, musical instruments, jewellery, and silverware. Each venue showcases the exceptional talents of artists who proudly call Ditchling home. Many of these artists also invite esteemed guest exhibitors, highlighting and celebrating the remarkable work they admire.

Make it a day out, or extend your visit to enjoy everything the historic village of Ditchling offers.
