Welcome to Sussex Craft Week

Celebrating the best of Sussex craft, from contemporary making to heritage skills.

Sussex Craft Week is a celebration of exceptional craftsmanship and the talented makers who make Sussex such a vibrant centre for contemporary craft. Across nine days, discover a dynamic programme of exhibitions, open studios, fairs, courses, talks, tours and demonstrations at more than 40 venues throughout the region.

Explore our Craft Towns, where independent businesses and local makers come together to create town-wide experiences celebrating contemporary craft and traditional skills. Discover the Sussex Craft Awards, at Newlands House,, Petworth recognising outstanding talent in making, jump on a Studio Safari for exclusive visits to celebrity designer-makers and visit our MarketPlaces to find distinctive contemporary craft for your home.

Whether you are a craft enthusiast, collector or simply curious to discover something new, there are countless opportunities to meet makers, explore their work and experience the creativity behind their craft.

With more than 70 craft courses at West Dean, Chichester, and venues across East and West Sussex, there are also plenty of opportunities to learn a new skill or develop your own creative practice.

Join us for the third edition of Sussex Craft Week, 19–27 June 2027, and discover the people, places and skills shaping the future of craft.
