Barn opens for arts trail

Our old barn has been dormant in our care for the past 5 years and has recently undergone a make over and up lift to reveal its raw beauty and the fantastic exhibition space within.

Resident Artist Lucy Watt will be showing her new Encaustic Wax collection alongside other local artists over three weekends as part of The Steyning Arts Trail.

At our barn during the Arts Trail dates we will be serving Drinks and home baked goods with all donations going to St. Barnabas House Hospice. There will be a private collection of works on display artistically displaying Lucy’s Mothers last year of life. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer November 2012 and lived her last few months at St. Barnabas House Hospice until she passed away October 2013.

The Steyning Arts Trail will be running over three weekends from the 24th of May until the 8th of June.

Our opening times are 11am til 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, also open to the public on bank holiday Monday 26th 11am til 4pm. Hobjoins Barn is on Hyde Street, Upper Beeding, BN44 3TG - behind The Towers Convent School. We have parking and a sunny terrace - weather permitting!

Please come along and support our event and enjoy the wonderful setting, art work and cake! Find Hobjoins Barn on Facebook, read our story and look at our artists’ images and Barn photographs.
