HWAT Winter Show

Our latest exhibition is now set up and ready to view in the gallery from Monday 27th November, door opening at 10am.  We are delighted to be hosting the Harleston and Waveney Art Trail (HWAT) members for their winter show.

The Harleston & Waveney Art Trail (also known as HWAT) is a diverse and lively community of professional artists who live and work in the beautiful Waveney Valley, all within reach of Harleston, a small market town on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Harleston & Waveney Art Trail has taken place every summer since 2004. Each year the artists open their studios and workshops for two or three consecutive weekends.
