Our annual OPEN exhibition is our largest exhibition of the year; a dynamic and colourful affair mixing stunning larger statement pieces with beautiful smaller works perfect for Christmas gifts. This year we are showcasing the work of 58 wonderful artists, both old friends of the gallery and artists new to us, some locally based and some from further afield.
Thursday 27th November 2025 – Saturday 24th January 2026
Thursday – Saturday 10am – 4pm

The winners will each receive a £100 cash prize and an invitation to exhibit with us during 2026.
We would like to thank each and every artist who submitted an entry to our exhibition; we only wish we had the space to show more work.
Congratulations and thank you to all our selected artists, you have enabled us to create a stunning exhibition.
