Sussex Craft Week 2026

About

Launched to wide acclaim in 2025, Sussex Craft Week celebrates the region's excellence in craftsmanship and its place as the hub of the contemporary craft revival. The second edition takes place 20-28 June, with an ambitious programme of over 60 events in venues across Sussex.

Visit first-rate exhibitions at leading museums and galleries, and meet award-winning makers at open workshops. Explore pop-up events and shops in Craft Towns or hop on a Studio Safari to tour makers' rural workshops in beautiful locations. Sussex Craft is becoming recognised as a distinct international brand, and its curated MarketPlace events provide an opportunity to buy stunning bespoke pieces for home and garden. Storytelling, special museum tours and demonstrations bring alive the region's extraordinary craft heritage, and the Sussex Craft Awards showcase regional talent.

Sussex Craft Week is also all about community, and offers an extensive programme of craft courses and clubs for all ages and abilities. Book a place to upskill, try out new hobbies and socialise.

Sussex Craft Week is organised by ROSA (Review of Sussex Arts CIC) in partnership with West Dean. It is supported by Wealden District Council, Arun District Council, Arundel Town Council, London Art Fair, Women in Art Fair, Gorringes Auction House, Newlands House Gallery, Chalk Cliff Trust, Hastings Craft Weekend and King & McGaw.
