Devon Open Studios - 9th -24th September
Devon Open Studios is a September staple for artists and makers all over Devon, and for people who love to see beautiful things created, chat to their makers and even perhaps purchase something special. In August the beautiful full colour guides will be available from venues/galleries and Tourist Information Centers. If you live out of the area lets us know if you would like to receive one?
Hundreds of venues open their doors, supply tea and coffee (some even do cake) and wait for people to come along to share their passions with…Why not pick a few and pop along? Entry is free, so you can have a lovely day out for the cost of a pub lunch or afternoon tea – or bring a picnic!
We would love to see you…We will have free tickets on our website – so we know when to pop the kettle on – but you can of course just drop in and say Hi!
You are welcome any time from 10am to 6pm
