Open Studios trail. 5th to 20th September

Eden Valley Artists Network annual Open Studios trail.

Our Tudor Byre Gallery will be open throughout the event, with an exhibition by local artists and artists events during the show.

 

Blizzard Returns

In 2025 we ran a successful fundraiser, we sold ‘Make your own Ceramic Snowman Kits’ People bought a kit, went home made their snowmen, we fired then in the kilns and then popped them on display. After the exhibition the snowmen were collected by the makers and taken to their forever home.

So in 2026  ‘Blizzard’ will return. There have been many requests for us to do it again, not only from people who missed out but from people who want to be even more creative with their snowmen.

Kits will be available from Sept 1st. With The Exhibition Running 1st – 31st December.

Lots of shops to explore and buy art crafts and pottery from. The potters/artists/cafe people are very kind and friendly. The carpark is reasonably sized so you should be able to park, if not park nearby. Its definitely worth a visit...

Considering it basically free entry- (donations welcome) it's worth a visit. The art/pottery/jewellery shops might interest you. The castle walls will entertain the kids. Dads will love the choice of beers to enjoy in the sun or under the tents if the weather isn't so good. Great for less abled as parking is as close as it gets. Best little coffee shop I have been to recently. Great service, choice of drinks hot and cold. Lovely cakes.

What a great place to visit. Lovely food and local craft shops inside ranging from pottery to handmade cards. FREE entry but do leave a donation. 2 car parks and one inside for ease of access. Will go back again.

Lovely spot to explore after a local walk along the Eamont to the henges, Arthur's Table and Maybrugh and visiting Brougham Castle. The craft shops are great places to look for gifts. The café is brilliant and can cater for gf and vegan diets. Their vegan cakes are amazing!
