We have both been fortunate enough to have our artwork accepted at this prestigious exhibition over the last two years. It is a well known venue and art collectors and enthusiasts come from far and wide to view the excellent work on show. It is with regret that it has had to be cancelled this year due to Covid 19.
“This gives us plenty of time to prepare for 2021” says Stuart
‘ Cancelling our Summer Exhibition at this stage was not an easy decision to make. It’s something we haven’t had to do since the Second World War.’

We tend to exhibit our paintings at \’Trig point\” which is an old First World War camp. We use the dining room and share the space with several other artists.
Unfortunately due to Covid 19 the event has been cancelled for this year.
