Sussex Artisans Show Off Their Craftsmanship At Michelham Priory

More than 50 renowned artisans and expert makers from The Sussex Guild returned to Michelham Priory House & Gardens in East Sussex at the weekend.

The group showed off their wares and gave masterclasses at the annual Contemporary Craft Fair.

The grounds at the heritage site were transformed as makers filled the lawns with stalls and demonstrated their skills in crafts such as woodturning, embroidery, quilting, pottery and jewellery making.

Cared for by The Sussex Archaeological Society, Michelham Priory dates back to 1229 and was originally home to Augustine canons, one of the religious orders of the Medieval church.

The heritage site and its stunning gardens are surrounded by the largest medieval moat in the country.

A spokesperson for the Sussex Archaeological Society said:

"We have a busy calendar of events over the school holidays.

"Families can take part in drop-in activities on a different theme every Wednesday at Michelham Priory, from wildlife fun to archaeology.

"Sessions are included in the cost of admission, which starts at £11 for an adult and £5.50 for a child." 

Further information on events and ticket prices is available online.
