House Gig with Heather Findlay at Triangle House June 2025, as seen on Grand Designs (Saturday 28 June)

Following the success of our first house gig in June 2024 at Triangle House in Pulborough, West Sussex, we are organising another one! Saturday 28 June 2025

Singer songwriter Heather Findlay will play two solo sets on acoustic guitar at the home of her cousin, Fritha Vincent Mason. The award winning house, built by Fritha’s Master Carpenter partner, Olaf, was shown on Grand Designs in 2021 and 2023 and is distinctive because of its triangular shape.

The gig will take place in the back garden under 3 big sails and in the kitchen of the property. There are limited tickets available. We are offering everyone that came to our first gig an early bird ticket price of £35 for the gig. With gig and house tour it is £45 per ticket. We will be offering early bird price until Tuesday 3 September when we will start to promote the event on social media. After then the gig ticket price will go to £40 and the gig with house tour will go to £50. 

Once the actual costs of putting the event on has been covered, the remaining funds will be used wisely to help fund Secret Projects, a social enterprise that creates work for women in India who have the skill to stitch. The Social Enterprise is run by Fritha and two other female directors.

A new addition to the this event is a house tour for up to 6 people from 5pm - 6pm. This will be led by Fritha and Olaf will be on hand to answer any questions in detail.

Heather and Fritha have worked together to support Secret Projects via the incredibly successful Secret Sari Dress Campaign.

More about the link to Grand Designs...

Fritha, co-founder and CEO of local social enterprise, Secret Projects moved with her family to West Sussex in 2020 into Triangle House that her partner Olaf, a master carpenter built for them. The house was featured on the UK's popular television programme Grand Designs

Grand Designs revisited in 2023 and produced a follow on programme

Kevin McCloud, the show's presenter was astonished and delighted by the build. The house name 'Triangle House' was actually coined by locals as the village watched the construction process unfolding at the top of the high street! The house is quite spectacular! See for yourself by viewing the drone footage by photographer, Jefferson Smith. Click the image below.

When Fritha moved to West Sussex she also moved the head quarters of  Secret Projects, to Hardham Mill Business Park, Pulborough. Her goal is now to embed Secret Projects as a recognised social enterprise running at the heart of beautiful West Sussex.
