WEST DEAN ARTS AND CRAFT FESTIVAL IS A WEEKEND BURSTING WITH CREATIVITY – Perfect Opportunity to get Hands On!
Tickets are now on sale for the West Dean Arts and Craft Festival, which will take place within the beautiful grounds of West Dean College of Arts and Conservation in West Sussex from Friday, May 31 – Sunday, June 2, 2019.
Tickets cost £10.50 for adults in advance and £12.50 on the day, while children under 16 years are FREE. The Festival, which is open each day from 10am – 5pm, offers visitors the opportunity to try their hand at something new in a fun environment and go home, after a bit of escapism, saying “I made that!”
With almost 1,000 places to have-a-go in workshops and classes offers the chance to get involved in free drop-in Demonstrations and Summerhouse trail such as painting; large-scale weaving and even a river-powered kinetic art installation. Visitors can also buy unique crafted items, see the work of emerging artists, have a rare opportunity to step inside the historic house which houses the Mae West Lips Sofa and Lobster Telephone – Edward James’ iconic collaboration with Salvador Dali.
