ART EVENTS
2nd August 2026 - Landscape Painting
On a glorious sunny day we had our second Landscape Painting Competition. 28 artists entered the event and our three judges found it very hard to shortlist 10 finalists to be judged during the Festival’s first weekend. On Saturday 3rd October the final judging will take place in Wetherby Town Hall. Do pop along and have a look, when we will be having a public vote as well, so join in the fun.
There will also be an art exhibition by local makers and artists during the 3rd and 4th October as well as workshops you can sign up to.
