© Turners Hill Arts Festival 2011 Possibly......... The Most Unusual Arts Show in Sussex! The Turners Hill arts and crafts festival was originally set up in 2009 to showcase and sell the work of many amateur and professional artists in the Turners Hill Area. In the three years this festival has now been running it has attracted professional artists from across the county and the high quality of arts and crafts now being displayed annually has exceeded all original expectations. In 2010 a new angle was added; a poetry competition. Anyone with an interest in poetry is invited to submit their poem. There will be a prize for the best poem in each group and all poems submitted will be made available for sale to the public in a book. The setting for the festival is  unusual. St Leonard’s Church in Turners Hill is a late Victorian country church that provides a superb arena for arts and crafts and itself boasts beautiful stained glass windows, the work of the eminent Victorian artist, Charles Eamer Kempe. Artists may display their work for free but the organisers request a percentage of any sales. All money raised from sales of artwork  is divided between the Family Support Group the upkeep of St Leonard’s Church.
