How to create a more sustainable vineyard
Wine  
Winemaker Tom Bartlett of Stopham Estate shares the many steps his beautiful Sussex vineyard is taking to becoming carbon neutral in the next few years.
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.
