We have more than 38 artists exhibiting this year. Some stalls will be in the spaces around the lifts and wide corridors leading up to the open studios of the resident artists and makers.

Yes, we have a diverse range of Christmas gifts from ceramics, stationery, calendars, clothing, jewellery, homeware items and greeting cards, to fine art prints, drawings and paintings.

Visitors can get a glimpse of the studio facilities and explore this unique 1960’s industrial building, but we are not running any activities.

 

New England House is a unique building with a vibrant atmosphere. It is a creative hub in central Brighton and the home of many recognised artist and makers. The Christmas Open Studios are the only time in the year visitors can explore the building and discover it’s occupants and their work.

We open our doors to the public on Friday 7th December 11-8, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December 11-6. One weekend only!

Many artist and makers will hold a special Christmas studio sale. Visitors can buy directly from the artists and makers, in some cases at special prices. It’s really worth while to visit all exhibiting floors and see as much as possible.
