More than 30 professional local designer-makers will display their work in Ditchling this weekend.

The promoters promise an Aladdin's Cave of iridescent lusterware and porcelain, painted silks, hand-blown glass, textured wall hangings, furniture, jewellery and more besides.

The designers will be on hand to talk about their craft. "It will be an ideal opportunity to buy individual gifts for Christmas," says Sussex Guild's Elaine Butlin.

"And hopefully a welcome alternative to buying imported, mass-produced goods."

Delicious homecooked refreshments, provided by East Sussex Country Markets, will also be available.
