Our Summer Exhibition at the Hillier Gardens is open today, from 10am until 5pm daily, until 10th August (when it closes at 4pm).

More than one hundred items of artwork are on display, not including the cards and browser items. Most pieces are for sale, and there is something to suit every pocket.

Even before we finished setting up last night, people were anxious to come and see the display.

Well done to Barry Fry, Roy and Gill Brophy, Alex Phillips and all the team who worked so hard yesterday to take in all the exhibits, inspect them for quality, and hang or set them out in the most attractive way. If you’ve ever tried to hang a number of artworks, you’ll know this is not an easy job!

If you’re marshalling at any time, or bringing your friends to admire the show, don’t forget to encourage visitors to take a HOS brochure, pointing out our Open Studio in August!
