ART@THE HOUSE 2018 runs from 10am – 5pm on Saturday 1st June and 10am – 4pm on Sunday 2nd June.

Local ceramics artists, Nigel Hoyle, is the driving force behind the event: “Our first artatthehouse weekend in 2018 attracted at least 1,000 visitors and we’re hoping many more will join us this year to enjoy and experience the work of an amazingly talented and diverse group of local artists, designers, makers and musicians, to share and celebrate their creativity. As well as providing a great backdrop for the art, crafts and music, Cliffe House and its landscapes are integral to how they will be experienced and discovered. With over 20 artists, plus lots of hands-on activities, creative, unexpected installations and fantastic food and drink, we’re really looking forward to the second year of artatthehouse – it’s something new and different that will also be great fun.”
