Event Details

The Summer Social returns this July 25! Join us for an evening of art, food & drink with special guests, and live DJ. 

We'll be opening our Summer Exhibition: Shorelines, and unveiling a showcase by ceramicist Alan Ball as he celebrates his 90th Birthday (and 60 years of making!). There'll be lots more new art, craft and jewellery too! So come and mix & mingle with the artists, enjoy gourmet oysters from The O Co, and natural wines & deli snacks from KORK Wine & Deli as we celebrate the Summer season.

Shorelines is a celebration of original art and craft inspired by our island coast. This exciting group show brings together artists from across our collections, with new pieces and new names all celebrating coastal landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and seaside pastimes. 

Expect original paintings, prints, and sculpture from names including Angela Edwards, Stephen Heward, John Brenton, Graham Rider, Graham Muir, Anthony Marshall, Rhonda Smith, Stephanie Cunningham and Kate Boxer.

The Factory Kitchen's Summer Supper Club is back as part of the Summer Social too. Enjoy a menu that blends Mediterranean flavours and takes inspiration from our summer exhibition, 'Shorelines'. Four courses will be served alongside wine accompaniments, with a welcome cocktail on arrival. Book your place here.
