After a four-year gap, Hassocks Artists Open House Trail will take place in the first weekend of July.

During the pandemic, the group held indoor exhibitions in 2019 and a wider publicised event at Downlands School in 2021, but now Hassocks Artists Open Houses are back! Between 11am and 4pm, use this map to follow the trail on Saturday and Sunday the 2nd and 3rd July to meet the artists.

Local teacher and artist, Ellie Drake-Lee says: “I’m thrilled to be exhibiting as part of the Hassocks Artists Open Houses. We’ve got a diverse range of creative arts from photography and ceramics to stained glass and illustrations so there’s something for everyone.”

The trail includes many local artists, including Pippa Aldridge, Jackie Bass, Dinah Beaton, Clare Bishop, Andrew Chapman, Sue Collins, Ricky Delaney, Ashley Hutchinson, Susie Garner, Dawn Mead, Joanne Miles, Ruth Mullan, Joanne Miles, Ginny Pickles, John Rees, Caroline Saunders, Sheila Southwell, Linda Tucker, Nicola Twaites, Liz Warne, Ruth Waters, Laura Westmacott and Louisa White.

Ellie says: “Please come and enjoy viewing original artwork in our houses and studios. There are so many creative people living in Hassocks and we can’t wait to meet everyone who is interested to see what we do.”
