Find me at the Aylsham Show Art Tent this Bank Holiday Monday
Updated: 6 days ago
This Bank Holiday Monday, August 25th, I'm swapping my Stiffkey studio for the Aylsham Show. I'm exhibiting in the Art Marquee with a selection of my original landscape paintings.
The Aylsham Show has been part of Norfolk's calendar for over 70 years. It's held in Blickling Park, with the Jacobean hall as a backdrop, and brings together prize-winning livestock and the best of the county's local produce.
What You'll Find at My Stand
I'll be bringing original oil paintings of the North Norfolk coast. Expect marshes with harriers gliding overhead and the golden-hour glow on Blakeney Quay.
I want my paintings to put you right back on Holkham's sands or beside Stiffkey's quiet creeks.
Come and Say Hello
I'll be personally manning the tent between 2-4pm on Monday, so please do stop by for a chat. I love a natter about the places behind each painting and that Norfolk coastal light.
Collectors and the simply curious are equally welcome. Art is like a good glass of wine. It's best shared.
Beyond the Art Tent
While you're at the show, you'll be spoilt for choice with attractions. The main ring will be alive with everything from freestyle motocross displays to heavy horse parades, while the Food Hall promises a treasure trove of Norfolk's finest producers. Children can enjoy everything from fancy dress competitions to sack races, and the traditional livestock competitions showcase the very best of Norfolk agriculture.
The show runs from 8:30am until 6pm, with gates opening early for those eager to make the most of this celebration of Norfolk life. And the best part? Children aged 16 and under enter free, and car parking is complimentary too.
A Perfect Norfolk Day Out
I love that the show puts art next to agriculture. That mix of wild coast and working farmland is what I try to paint.
Whether it's already in your diary or you're hunting for a Bank Holiday Monday day out, I'd love to see you in the Art Marquee. Come and see the landscapes you walk through every day in oil paint.
See you there!
