Sussex Craft Week is a new festival of making launching across East and West Sussex 14-22 June 2025. Organised by ROSA Magazine in partnership with national craft centre West Dean College, Sussex Craft Week celebrates the county’s remarkable talent for creative and specialist craft, and sets out to reconnect us with our craft heritage. The festival features a lively 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 Sussex’s top makers and see them at work. Visit Midsummer and Summer Solstice events with a craft focus. Connect with Sussex craft heritage on a day trip to making cordage or baskets from foraged materials. Join the circle at KnitFlix at the cinema and knit or crochet while watching a movie. See Sussex’s leading designer-makers at the Sussex Craft Awards Finalists Exhibition. Programme available to download for free at www.sussexcraftweek.com or buy it in print with the summer issue of ROSA Magazine at WHSmiths or stockists across East and West Sussex.
