In 2014 resident (and former Town Councillor) Iain McLauchlan approached the Town Council with an idea for an art project in Wades Park.  The project involved installing a number of boards on the fence line between Wades Park and the railway line.  The boards would show off local artists' talents whilst enhancing a dull-looking fence.

Art in the Park is now in its 9th year and has expanded from an original display of 6 artists to an extensive display of talent from over 37 local artists.  We have an exceptional selection of art covering a wide range of subjects and different media. 

Entries for 2022 are now on display.

Thank you to our ongoing sponsor local retailer, Cymbeline Art & Cards for their generous prize of an Annual Membership to the Royal Academy.
