Start your journey at our free Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall, running from 5th September – 3rd October, Wednesday to Sunday, 10am-4pm. Bringing together work from artists across both counties, it is the perfect place to discover new artists, plan your route, and be inspired to explore further afield. Whether you visit one venue or twenty, we hope this year’s festival encourages you to slow down, explore more, support local creativity, and enjoy the rich artistic talent on your doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you this September!
