Ignite your sense of wonder as you navigate the enchanting winding rooms of our exhibition space, showcasing incredible artwork created by a diverse array of local artists and community groups. The theme of ‘Play’ invites you to explore a rich tapestry of interpretations presented in various mediums, from vibrant oil paintings and intricate sculptures to thought-provoking photography and interactive installations.

Join us in celebrating our town’s talented local artists and discover how they interpret the essence of Play!
