Getting to our Artists Open House

by

Sussex Nightstop proudly hosts its first Open House with Cardinal Newman Catholic School during the Artists Open Houses Festival throughout May 2024. We’re open every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm and we think this might just be the biggest open house, with over 80 artworks on show from local artists, Brighton MET art students and arts pupils from the school.

What can you expect?

A superb range of art spanning acrylic or oil on canvas to affordable prints of original art, sculpture, photography, jewellery and fashion accessories. Prices start at £20 and even our most expensive pieces from renowned artists are under £600, so there really is something for everyone.

We’re part of the Dyke Road Trail, alongside six other fabulous open houses.

Where is it?

At the BEACH – that’s the Business, Enterprise and Careers Hub at Cardinal Newman Catholic School. The middle of three entrances to the school campus, with plenty of free parking on site and lots of buses stopping just up the road. Please visit Brighton & Hove Buses to find your route.

If you’re driving, there’s free accessible parking at the BEACH for blue badge holders and for everyone else, there’s a bigger car park at the main school entrance.

We look forward to seeing you there!
