Reviewed By JSpikeSte

There are 2 floors full of original art by Nigel Greaves. The vibrancy of the paintings as you walk in is stunning. There are plenty of paintings in different styles and for different tastes. We received a warm welcome and particularly enjoyed the back story behind some of the paintings.

Henry Paddon Contemporary Art

Reviewed By SuzanneCruse - Hailsham, United Kingdom

We have been visiting He ray Paddon for many years and have some wonderful local art from his shop from big and small, to quirky and cute. I love Arrington and can always find something to go with a new outfit here. Henry himself is a real gentleman; he always remembers your name and you never feel pressurised to buy. If there is something you would like but it is not in the shop he contacts the artists to see if he can source it. He is a gem and so is his shop.

We walked from East Dean to Birling gap and then walked along to Beachy Head from there. Beautiful views of the cliffs and the National Trust centre at Birling was a good stop for cafe and toilets, plus dog-friendly.The volunteer from South Africa was incredibly helpful and even offered us a lift if we couldn't walk anymore!
