The Lodges at Ashling Park Estate
Accommodation | Overnight  
Stay overnight in a luxurious vineyard lodge, designed by Will Hardie of Channel 4’s Amazing Spaces.
You’ve heard of Artists’ Open Houses during the Brighton Festival, for example? Well, this more like an Artists’ Open County, with more than 800 Sussex artists showing their work in studios and galleries – as well as some rather more unusual locations – around the Lewes, Seaford and Newhaven areas. Pick up a map, join the trail and you’ll be able to meet the artists and buy their work direct from them.
