The Maker’s Fair
Middle Farm
20-21 June

The Maker’s Fair makes its debut at Middle Farm this June with a special Summer Solstice weekend celebrating rural craft, folklore, and the rich creative heritage of Sussex. Set within one of the region’s oldest working farms, the event brings together a thoughtfully curated selection of makers whose work is rooted in creative techniques, storytelling, and a deep connection to the landscape. 

Visitors can expect a vibrant gathering of artists and craftspeople showcasing ceramics, textiles, jewellery, printmaking, woodwork, slow fashion, and more. As with all events by The Maker’s Fair, the focus is on creating an inspiring and welcoming atmosphere where visitors can meet makers directly, learn about their processes, and discover handmade work.
