Vineyard hopping in the Sussex Winelands
Wine  
Author of New British Wine Abbie Moulton heads westwards to the lands of cathedrals and wildflower hills, to discover some of the best English wines being produced here on Sussex soil.
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.
