Plumpton College Contemporary Craft Show

We’re very happy to announce our inaugural show at Plumpton College this summer, in the AgriFood Centre, a newly built state-of the-art conference venue.

Plumpton College welcomed its first students in 1926, so the Sussex Guild is particularly proud to become a partner during its centenary year. This well-loved centre of learning is celebrating 100 years of education, history and community by staging exhibitions and events throughout 2026 to show how far it’s come from its beginnings as a 400-acre farm.

Sussex Guild members will be showing wonderful handmade ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, knitwear, silversmithing, textiles and woodwork. Meet the makers to discuss their signature techniques and design inspirations, to buy excellent handmade applied art, or to commission a bespoke piece of craft.

There’s ample free parking, and stunning views over the Sussex Weald in one direction and over the Sussex Downs in another. An on-site café uses locally sourced fresh produce, some of which comes from the Plumpton College estate.
