The May 2009 Artists Open Houses Festival was the biggest yet, with 223 venues and 1,200 artists taking part.

Dry weather every weekend ensured that visitor numbers were high and many venues reported having had a successful festival, in spite of the prevailing economic situation.

The next Artists Open Houses event takes place at Christmas and runs over three weekends this year, November 28th and 29th, December 5th and 6th and December 12th and 13th. The Christmas brochure will be available from November 9th – if you would like a copy mailed directly to you, see the ‘become a friend’ section of this site.
