Art in Action

Well worth considering for an out-of-town outing is this arts and crafts festival at which around 150 artists set up studio in marquees in the garden so visitors can observe them at work as well as buy and commission art. There are demonstrations, as well as workshops for adults and children, including modern painting techniques, marquetry and parquetry, plus music, performances and storytelling.
