The Little Shop Storrington

The Little Shop in Storrington is one of those places that catches you off-guard - a proper independent gallery tucked into this village between Pulborough and the wider Sussex landscape. It's small, intimate, and the kind of spot where the owners actually care about what's on the walls rather than shifting units.

You'll find contemporary art here - painting, sculpture, prints - rotating regularly so there's genuine reason to pop back if you're in the area more than once. The scale means you won't spend hours wandering about, but that's rather the point. It's a 20-minute stop, not a half-day expedition, and it works better for that. Real art lovers will appreciate the curation. Families with young kids might find it a bit quiet for their needs - there's no interactive element, just the work itself.

Storrington's a quiet village setting, which makes this gallery feel less corporate than you'd find in town. It pairs well with a ramble through the South Downs if you're staying at one of the local parks - South Downs Caravan Park gets solid reviews and sits within easy reach. Knepp Wildland Safaris nearby offers something completely different if you want variety across a few days.

Admission details aren't widely published, so ring ahead or check their socials before you visit. Worth the detour if you're genuinely interested in art, less so if you're just ticking boxes on a park holiday.
