Beautiful & Useful Craft Fair at Sussex Prairies

Now in its fourth year at Sussex Prairies, just outside Henfield, this carefully curated craft fair offers the chance to buy from some of Britain’s best designer-makers in the fields of ceramics, wood, textiles, willow, jewellery and more.

This year’s line-up includes handmade Majolica pottery from Nicola Werner, 3D-printed vessels by Keeley Traae and chic, understated leatherware from MW Makes. Sussex makers are well represented too, with original lino- and wood-cut prints from Ash Leaf Printmaking in Hassocks, beautiful willow baskets by Lisa Dear, and silver nature-inspired jewellery - much of it textured with real plants - by Brighton-based Naomi James.

Sussex Prairies is an award-winning garden, its eight acres filled with spectacular swathes of herbaceous perennials. September, when the grasses and flowers are at their peak, is one of the best times to visit.

Teas, cakes and refreshments will be on offer, along with a bar and live music to help your day go with a swing.
