Seasonal music and readings along with a mince pie and glass of wine make for a fine and entertaining evening.
As always we have special exhibitions throughout the period, with gifts and cards in our Crew Yard Gallery. If it all gets too hectic - why not call in and relax with a coffee and look around - we hope to see you.
Our galleries at Patchings are currently showing four quite different exhibitions - something for everyone.
In the Barn Gallery we have one of our main exhibitions of the year. Where Counties Meet is in fact a two man exhibition with original watercolours by the well known Yorkshire Artist Ashley Jackson. This exhibition is part of his 70th celebrations and he shares the walls with his one time mentor and great friend L S Lowry, with a range of signed litho prints. This is a stunning exhibition and is running until Sunday 20 November.
Our Crew Yard Gallery has a busy time. We have a special Preview for Christmas on 29 and 30 October called Jackets and Jewels, during these two days there are special discounts available. From 31 October is our annual show The art of Christmas with exquist work in glass, ceramics and jewellery. This is on until Christmas.
The Rafters Gallery is a landscape exhibition featuring the work of Steve Mcloughlin called Coast and Countryside. Steve is s regular exhibitor at the Patchings Festival and his subject includes some of his favourite views. Maintaining the theme of landscape, in the Image Gallery we have a photographic exhibition by the award winning, writer and landscape photographer Pete Bridgwood.
We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to Patchings. A reminder this year's Christmas Market, our 12th, is Friday to Sunday 25 to 27 November 10 to 4.00 each day.
