Ardingly College – with The Sussex Guild
Ardingly College – is a relatively new event organised by The Sussex Guild
This will be only just the second time this event will have taken place. This Guild show is still finding its way?
Having taken part in this event in 2024. One will not be disappointed by its location and its wonderful spacious buildings
Depending on the Guild event layout – I will display my work on part of my new stand set up I produced in 2024 – showing a select number of my Products as well as one – off pieces including some of my lattice stools and coloured pieces.
The Location
Situated in the High Weald, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hosting at this college The Sussex Guild makers will display their pieces in the light and airy buildings of the Chapel and the Old Dining Hall, and classrooms in its famed 19th century Gothic style red brick building.
Built in the 1800s, the College is steeped in history and set in 250 acres of beautiful West Sussex countryside. The elegant quadrangle has wonderful views to the thirty-seven arches of the renowned Ouse Valley (or Balcombe) Viaduct
Have you been to this area before?
Should you fancy a pub meal, the college is a mile away from Ardingly Village. If you’re in the area for the weekend, Wakehurst place is also nearby; managed by Kew Gardens and home to the Millennium Seed Bank, this wild botanic garden has over 500 acres of diverse landscapes and plants from across the globe.
See you there?
I am looking forward to exhibiting at this event for the second time. In a new area and also in a building! A number of the shows I attend are held in marquees – but 2025 is looking a bit more equal in this regard?
