🌟ASHDOWN FOREST OPEN STUDIOS🌟

80 artists. 20 venues. 5 trails. One very creative weekend in the Ashdown Forest!

Welcome to the inaugural Ashdown Forest Open Studios — a celebration of art, creativity and the wonderful artists inspired by this beautiful corner of Sussex.

🗓 4th - 6th September
⏰️ 10am - 5pm

Across the weekend, 80 talented artists will be opening their doors and exhibiting their work at 20 venues across five trails:

📍 Forest Row
📍 Nutley
📍 Fairwarp
📍 Crowborough
📍 Hartfield

Expect a fantastic variety of original artwork to see, discover and buy, and, just as importantly, the opportunity to meet the artists themselves. They’re very much looking forward to welcoming you, chatting about their work and sharing the stories and processes behind what they create.

There will also be workshops and demonstrations taking place throughout the weekend, giving you the chance to see artists at work — or even have a go yourself! Full details, including booking information, can be found at ashdownforestopenstudios.co.uk - for the link follow @afopenstudios

Because exploring art is thirsty work, some studios will also be offering refreshments!

Plan your trail, gather your favourite people and make a day of it. Check the map and discover what’s happening at each venue at ashdownforestopenstudios.co.uk
