🎨 Spotlight on... Steyning Arts 🎨

Steyning Arts was established in May 2011 and brings together over sixty local artists and craftspeople, both professionals and talented amateurs. Our aim is to:

• Make our art accessible to the wider public, providing them with a chance to appreciate and buy work that is unique, locally created, and eminently collectable.
• Inspire budding artists to develop their talents.
• Build a community of artists and supporters that nurtures the creation and appreciation of art.

🍂🎃 Have you caught our October issue yet? 🍁✨

This month we feature local artist Melissa Birch, whose lino prints bring bold design and creativity to our cover. You’ll also find the story of how the Steyning Community Orchard began, showing what can be achieved with a few determined people and a good idea.

There’s plenty happening in our community this month. The Steyning Drama Company has a comedy double bill coming up, the Farmers Market continues to showcase the best of local produce, and our diary pages are full of concerts, talks, walks, and family events.

On the environmental side, we look at the return of the Red Kite, the work of Steyning for Trees to support birdlife this winter, and how the Weald to Waves project is connecting local efforts into a wider network for wildlife. Our gardening feature highlights jobs for October and the striking Caryopteris ‘Dark Knight’, a plant that brings colour late into the season.

Book reviews this month cover everything from spooky reads for children to history and thrillers for adults – perfect for the darker evenings. As always, a big thank you to our contributors, advertisers, and readers for your support. I hope you enjoy this issue and find plenty to get involved with in Steyning, Bramber, and Upper Beeding.

Best wishes,
Melanie

🍂 October 2025: Gardening Journal 🍂

Plant of the Month: Caryopteris 'Dark Knight' 🌿

As October arrives, the garden begins its gentle shift into autumn. Cooler days bring a slower pace, but colour still lingers—from the last of the summer blooms to the vibrant golds, reds, and bronzes of turning leaves.

It’s a month of reflection and quiet productivity, where gardeners find joy in preparing for the seasons ahead. There’s something grounding about planting bulbs for spring, reworking planting schemes, or simply taking in the crisp air and changing light.
