Judy Stevens, director of the Artists' Open Houses, said: “We are delighted to launch this winter's festival with some well-known houses returning for 2023 as well as a range of new venues to explore.

"This time of year in Brighton and Hove is always magical and as the cold weather arrives the open houses provide a great opportunity to buy gifts for friends and family in the warmth of artists' homes.

"It's a great way to discover new arts and crafts from Sussex makers and meet members of the local creative community.

"We hope you will join us to visit open houses in your neighbourhood as well as those further afield and support our fantastic range of artists and makers across the city and beyond."

As part of the event Charity Outside In will host an exhibition at the Hove Museum of Creativity in New Church Road featuring work from artists who have encountered "significant barriers to the art world."

It represents the final leg of a national tour of the 80 artworks, which kicked off at Sotheby's in Old Bond Street, London.
