Hove Trail House Shines with Shortlisting again for Best Artists Open House

The Artists Open Houses - Hove Trail, a highlight of the artistic calendar, is celebrating a significant achievement this year! We're thrilled to announce that The Flamingo house has been shortlisted in the prestigious Best Artists Open House category for 2025. A regular to the shortlist this is a fantastic testament to the incredible talent and dedication within our community.

The Flamingo House: A beloved fixture of the Hove Trail, The Flamingo House continues to impress with its unique charm and consistently high-quality artistry. Known for its (as the name suggests!) playful and vibrant aesthetic, The Flamingo House is a strong contender for the title. In 2025 Flamingo House opened its doors to reveal a breathtaking transformation with expansion which has dramatically enhanced the already charming space. With grand openings that connect the interior with the exterior, the new wing invites the elements to participate in the artistic experience.

The winner will be announced this June 9th, and we extend our heartfelt good luck to The Flamingo House. Whatever the outcome, this shortlisting is a significant accomplishment and a validation of their hard work and creative flair.

This news also serves as a reminder of the incredible dedication of all the artists and makers who participate in the Hove Trail. They pour their hearts and souls into creating beautiful, unique pieces, transforming their homes into welcoming galleries for the community to enjoy.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported our artists and makers throughout the trail. Shopping small, buying local, and choosing handmade goods makes all the difference. Your support not only helps these talented individuals thrive, but also enriches our community with creativity and artistry. So, whether it's The Flamingo House, or any of the other amazing venues, continue to champion local art and celebrate the power of handmade artistry. Good luck to The Flamingo House! We'll be eagerly awaiting the announcement!
