Get more from your visit...

The main part of your visit is the chance to look at approximately 300 original art works, including photographic art and mixed media works, from local artists, artists from neighbouring towns and villages, and in some cases, from further afield. There will be a broad range of topics - not just pictures of Roydon. There will also be a wide range of materials used: oils and water colour are very popular, but there are also mixed media pictures.
