People's Art Fair: Friday 24 April - Sunday 3 May 2026

The People's Art Fair encompasses a group exhibition, performances, creative workshops & activities. Open to artists, makers, photographers, painters, sculptors and creatives of all flavours, the People's Art Fair acts as a celebration of culture and expressive art. Aiming to break down financial barriers to the art world, it is free to exhibit in the show - and free to visit of course!

Most of the artworks are available to buy, along with prints, cards, badges, stickers and other smaller bits, and the bar will be open for soft drinks, hot drinks and locally sourced beer, cider & wine.
