Art Cart - every Sunday during term time, every Tuesday during school holidays.

The ever popular free Art Cart is a great way for people of all ages to have fun creating their own piece of artwork to take home.  Based on the gallery's changing exhibition programme, there's always something new to try!  Why not take inspiration from work currently on show in the Urban Places: Open Spaces exhibition, which is on show until Sunday 2^nd November.

Simply drop in between 1pm and 3.30pm.

County Councillor Maureen Compton, Cabinet Support Member for Cultural Services said: "The Shire Hall Gallery has a varied programme of arts activities and events to suit all ages and abilities throughout the year.  We look forward to welcoming visitors both existing and new to come and try out some of this season's workshops".
