Pruden and Smith

As part of Ditchling’s Art and Craft history we have always had many ties with walks in the area. The recent ‘Ditchling Walks’... book “In the Footsteps of Eric Gill” has been a great success and we have asked the author to lead them for our customers over the coming months.
Right on the route, we are always open during the London to Brighton BHF cycle ride and welcome any cyclists. With an on-site goldsmiths workshop, we aim to be as helpful as we can!
