Craftsmanship at our workshop


Each trug represents investing in lasting function that serve generations

Our History

The village of Herstmonceux has been known as a centre for the craft of Trug making for at least two hundred years, although there are records of Trugs and makers dating back as for as the sixteenth century.

The Truggery, situated on the outskirts of the village, has been a trug maker's workshop since 1899 and Sussex Trugs are still produced here using the same tools and traditional methods.
