With over 100 exhibitors, as diverse as local photographer, Tom Way, to Manchester fine artist, Helen Parsley; local mixed media artist, Lisa Marie Gibbs, to West Country artist Jim Munnion. Eve Olsen sculptures, to glass pieces by Sandra Callowhill and landscape inspired jewellery by Christine Savage. All creating a stimulating environment, the weekend is a place for art buyers of all experiences and tastes to indulge a passion.
