- Diane Baylis (Hand-Knitted Baby Clothes & Cards): Taught to crochet by her grandmother and knit by her mother, Diane brings a lifetime of experience to her craft. While she has created everything from suits to jumpers in the past, she now specialises in beautifully hand-knitted pieces for babies and toddlers. Alongside her lovely knits, Diane will be showcasing a unique selection of handmade greeting cards—a skill she began developing during the pandemic and continues to perfect through monthly classes.
- Sarah Keen (Enchanted England): Discover a magical range of books, artworks, cards, homeware, and fashion items inspired by the natural beauty and folklore of the English countryside. As an illustrator, writer, and painter, Sarah merges storytelling and visual art to create unique, ethically produced gifts.

- Leigha (Little Keepers): As a new mum with a passion for preserving life’s most special moments, Leigha carefully handcrafts beautiful and meaningful keepsakes. She creates a delightful range of personalised photo magnets, keyrings, and knitted wire art designed to celebrate the people and memories that matter most. Whether featuring a family photo, a beloved pet, or a holiday memory, every Little Keepers piece is made with love and attention to detail to bring a smile every time it is seen.
Special Gardening Guest
- Barry Chambers (Garden Design Guru): Looking to revamp your outdoor space? We are delighted to be joined by Barry Chambers, an RHS Gold and Silver-Gilt Medal-winning garden designer. With over 30 years of experience, Barry specialises in small private gardens and sustainable techniques, including drought-tolerant planting and low-aftercare designs. He will be available for initial consultations to discuss design, planting, irrigation, and problem areas in your own garden.
Only Human
Only Human are a much-loved local three-piece who wowed the crowd at last year’s Garden Party—and they’re back by popular demand. With Derek (vocals and rhythm guitar), Glyn (vocals), and Pete (lead guitar and vocals), their sound is built on rich harmonies and fresh, distinctive takes on well-known songs, alongside some original material.
Regular performers at the Chichester Inn open mic and other local venues, they bring a relaxed, engaging style that’s perfect for a summer gathering. Expect familiar tunes, skilfully reimagined, and a set that draws you in from the first note.
