Inside The Palace Exhibition Space

The photographs above do not do the exhibition or the space any justice. For those who have already been, you have experienced how unique and special this room and the building are and we are honoured and privileged to be it's temporary occupants, blending with all it's history, heritage, traditions, character and it's dramatic quirkiness.

Visitor Information

Come and view the large, unique and diverse Art Exhibition from local artists in the dramatic setting of the Masonic room at The Palace, Garden Street (near JR Taylor's). 11am - 3pm everyday until the end of the festival. Across the road the Exhibition continues in the lovely Mooch1. Some work is displayed within the shop, with an additional pop up gallery at the back. Visitors can also vote for their favourite piece of work (and the Artist will receive a small prize). With the huge variety of artwork on display from so many talented artists, it really is worth a visit - possibly followed by a cup of coffee in the cafe? Mooch1 is open Monday - Saturday 9.30am - 4.30pm. The festival finishes on Sunday 26th July.

Festival Programme

Thank You

Thank you to all the artists (or relatives/friends of the artists) for dropping their work in today - some old friends, some new acquaintances. This is what it is all about - bringing artists together, to show art, to talk about art and to inspire each other.
Unfortunately, there were a number of registered and confirmed artists who didn't make it to drop-off today - if they still wish to be involved could they contact me asap - thanks.

Entry Form - (re-posted entry form to keep it as recent post for those who might have lost it).

Invigilation Rota - so far..

This is the invigilation rota so far - please can artists contact me to fill a slot or two if possible?

(I still have to co-ordinate with Barbara, so hopefully she has had better luck). 

Thank you to Sue for offering her services without hesitation. 

Community events rely on volunteers - but this helps build a better art community and form lasting friendships and connections...and therefore opens up other opportunities.

 (You can even bring a friend if that makes it any easier!)

Thank you in advance.

(update - thank you also to Claire and Mira)
