12 Turner Dumbrell Workshops

Dumbrells Court Road, Ditchling, BN6 8GT

The Turner Dumbrell Workshops, a leafy four minute walk from the Blue Shed, are a hive of creativity not to be missed as you explore the delights of the Ditchling Art Trail. This year, 11 studios will be open, several new to Artists Open Houses. Work ranging from painting to plaster prints, ceramics to calligraphy, vintage and tailored clothing to contemporary basketry will be on show. There is plenty to explore in this picturesque complex of converted farm buildings; refreshments and homemade cakes will be on offer.

Studios will be open every weekend in May including Bank Holidays, but to avoid disappointment please refer to the Art in Ditchling Trail website or brochure for more details.
