Culture by the Coast

Explore the varied and dramatic Sussex coastline, where artists, makers, and creators have long been drawn by the light and the landscapes, forging creative communities along the shore.

Contemporary art galleries and mordernist architecture jostle side by side with historic fishing communities in arty towns where old traditions are made new, streetfood gets a seafood twist and the sea offers constant chances for wild swimming, watersports and beach saunas.

Click around on the artwork below to find the best art galleries, vineyards, places to stay, eat, drink and explore along the Sussex coast during the Turner Prize season in Sussex. Whichever way you choose to go, it’s yours for the making.
