Seen Agency

We’re the Sustainable Conservation Trust (SCT) – a not-for-profit team of architects, artists, and placemakers reusing historic buildings through creative collaboration and technology. From forts and slaughterhouses to alleyways and pop-ups, we bring forgotten spaces back to life with community at the heart. Our base at the Old Pay Office in Historic Dockyard is a living lab for residencies, skills workshops, and test projects. We welcome creatives of all kinds to join us in reimagining heritage – as a platform, not a museum piece. If you’re a local maker, artist, designer, photographer, coder, or storyteller and think heritage is more than bricks and plaques – let’s talk.  

Sage and Salt Studio is a vibrant art gallery in the heart of Petersfield, showcasing nature-inspired work by over 70 local artisans. Alongside our gallery, we offer a dedicated studio space that hosts a regular programme of art and craft workshops led by local artists. We also feature The Craft Pantry which is a unique, self-guided creative experience where visitors can book a two-hour session and choose from a selection of materials to explore a craft at their own pace.

We’re here to be a round table for poetry where everyone is welcome. We are a poetry organisation that does all sorts of things – from hosting our much-acclaimed biennial festival in Winchester, to our popular Winchester Poetry Prize competition, to our wider work with schools and community organisations.
