Join us for a big weekend of art! A two day exhibition located in the East Harptree Theatre and Arts Hub, featuring the work of eleven local artists, plus a gallery wall with works from a further nine artists. Meet the artists, get hands on with arts based workshops and enjoy tea, coffee and homemade cakes.

 

This is the second year of running the Big Arts Weekend.  In October 2024 the same group of artists came together to host their own exhibition and weekend of workshops in the absence of the Chew Valley Arts Trail, and it was such a success we will be bringing it back to the Chew Valley!

​

Many of the artists also have artwork exhibited at the Waldegrave Arms Pub in East Harptree.  For further information follow this page
