Open Doors 2016 was a huge success!

Thank you everyone who made the Open Doors event so amazing this year – the artists who opened their studios, the artists exhibiting in the galleries, the friendly and helpful staff, our brilliant volunteers and the delightful visitors who made the weekend such a pleasure.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to the Makers’ Fair 10th & 11th and 17th & 18th of December. More details on that to follow very soon…

While we wait for all the photos to come in from our fabulous media team, we’ve got these two videos of the event to share with you.
