Treve Summer Festival

18 JULY – 2 AUGUST 2026

11.00am – 6.00pm

32 Artists will be exhibiting this year, showing an exciting and varied selection of artworks providing the perfect opportunity to purchase unique, handmade art direct from the artists themselves.

Meet the Artists and watch them at work, make something yourself at a free Art Workshop, see inside the Printmaking and Painting studios and then relax and enjoy a snack in the garden from the Pop Up Cafe.

Treve Cottage is a traditional 17th Century Sussex, timber framed and tile hung  building that nestles in the beautiful West Sussex countryside at the heart of the South Downs National Park. Every year for two weeks in the Summer and One Weekend in the Winter the cottage and gardens become the home of the annual Treve Art Festival and Christmas Treve Show.

Resident artists Sally and Euan, their artist friends and selected guests come together to exhibit, demonstrate their artforms and run art workshops for visitors.
