Eastbourne College Contemporary Craft Show

Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th October 2026

We’re delighted to be exhibiting at Eastbourne College, another new venue for the Guild this year. It’s a stone’s throw from Towner gallery, in this culturally rich coastal town. 

Members will be showing wonderful examples of handmade ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, knitwear, metalsmithing, textiles and woodwork. Work will be on display throughout the sports hall in the impressive Winn Building. 

Our makers look forward to meeting you to discuss design inspirations and craft techniques. You’ll have the opportunity to buy, or commission bespoke pieces.

An inviting college café will be serving refreshments throughout the weekend, and there are plenty of cafés within the nearby Devonshire Quarter, Eastbourne’s cultural centre, as well as the seafront promenade.

Assistance dogs only are permitted. There is a short flight of stairs to the venue. A lift is available for those with mobility issues.
