🌊 Cabin Views: October
Hello from the Cabin! 😊
October has arrived at the Cabin, and the seasons are definitely beginning to turn.
The evenings are drawing in, there’s a cooler feel in the air and the light over the water has that beautiful softer quality that only seems to appear as autumn approaches. 🍂🌊
We’re very lucky to be tucked away here at Hardway, with the Solent on our doorstep. There’s always something to watch from the shoreline-boats making their way across the water, birds along the foreshore and, on a good day, that wonderful combination of sea air and sunshine that makes you forget it’s autumn at all.
And this month, there’s something rather special happening right here in Gosport…
☕🎨 The Gosport Art & Tea Trail
We’re delighted to be taking part in the inaugural Gosport Art & Tea Trail, running from 15th–18th October. Please note we are closed on Sunday 18th.
For the Trail, we’re opening the doors to our Cabin at Hardway Business Centre, giving visitors the chance to see where we create our sculptures from driftwood, reclaimed metal and all sorts of rescued and repurposed objects.
It’s a working space rather than a pristine gallery — there’s usually something on the workbench, something waiting to be taken apart and plenty of bits and pieces that we’re convinced will “come in useful one day.” 😂
We’re really looking forward to being part of this new local event and sharing a little of the creative side of Gosport.
And, conveniently, there’ll be coffee and cake next door too. Our neighbouring café, The Hardway Coffee Co, will be open Thursday to Saturday 09:00 to 15:30 during the Trail. ☕🍰
💛 Art, Sea Air & a Little Bit of Quirkiness
One of the things we love most about where we are is that you can combine a visit to the Cabin with a wander along the waterfront.
Have a look at what we’re making, then step outside and take in the view.
The changing tides, boats, weather and wildlife are a constant source of inspiration, and seem to have a habit of finding its way into our work.
There might even be a sculpture or two that makes you smile, particularly if you’ve developed a taste for our slightly questionable names and terrible puns. 😄
📅 Save the Dates
Gosport Art & Tea Trail

So if you’re exploring the Art & Tea Trail this October, we’d love you to make your way down to Hardway.
Come and discover some local art, have a nose around the Cabin, enjoy a coffee and cake next door and, if the weather is kind, take a little stroll beside the water.
It’s a pretty lovely combination. 🌊☕🎨
As autumn settles in around us, we’ll be back at the workbench, collecting treasures, making, experimenting and wondering what we’re going to do with all those things we’ve rescued…
See you at the Cabin!
