Yep. Old farmer Giles in Ringmer. Very reasonable and local. He ploughed 9 acres for me and only charged me for the diesel.

Kings Framers are exorbitant. But there's also framers on South St, behind Sussex Stationers, and upstairs in Pastoral Antiques.

Framers can be v expensive. I just go to Dunelm - a tenner for a few frames. Hopefully find something which has a size that fits. Link below:
Or if you need a bespoke size then just google it - there are loads of people that do it from their home on eBay. As always, you get what you pay for.

I choose a frame that I like (from habitat or wherever) then just pay the framer a few quid to cut out the mount board to fit. It'll probably be about a tenner for getting the mount from a high street framer, or even less online.

there's a guy on fischer street who is good. also recomment ochre framing on malling st. If you want cheap you can pay for off the shelf and cut your own mount. If you want a good job pay a decent framer. How much do you like your picture and how much is it worth might influence how much you want to pay for a frame ?
If I had a Picasso, it would be well worth the money to have it properly framed. If it's a high st print from Ikea, get a ready made frame.
