Big Arts Week Discover a new creative destination this summer
alnwick
 

Art in the Garden Week 21st June to 26th June

The famous gardens at Alnwick are known to be a place of contemplation, a place of fun, a place of inspiration and education and so is the perfect place to hold a Big Arts Week event.

They want to encourage involvement from as many people as possible, schools, local community groups, visitors and local artists. Using the spectacular surroundings of the Alnwick Garden artists of all ages can explore and share their creativity.   During this week there will be workshops for both adults and children.

Artists from the Tynedale Network will be working in the garden and we are delighted to be supported by artists from Northumberland College and artists from Alnwick Community Art Group.

Come along, have a go.
