Sussex Craft Week is a new festival of making launching across East and West Sussex 14-22 June 2025. Organised by Lewes's own ROSA Magazine in partnership with national craft centre West Dean College, Sussex Craft Week celebrates the county’s remarkable creative talent and sets out to reconnect us with our craft heritage.
The festival features an exciting programme of exhibitions, courses, demonstrations, talks and tours at major Sussex arts venues including West Dean College, Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, Hastings Contemporary, Towner Eastbourne, Hove Museum of Creativity and Newlands House Gallery.
Book yourself on to a course, creative retreat, demonstration or taster session to try out a new craft skill.
Look at the online map of open workshops or join a Studio Safari and visit some of Lewes District’s top makers and see them at work.
Book into Summer Solstice events at Southover Gallery.
Connect with Sussex craft heritage on a day trip to making cordage or baskets from foraged materials.
Join the circle at KnitFlix at Depot cinema and knit or crochet while watching a movie.
See Sussex’s leading designer-makers at the Sussex Craft Awards Finalists Exhibition.
