Patchings is an arts and craft centre, with several resident artists, each with their own studio/shop. My boyfriend’s dad bought an awesome sculpture of a chameleon(which he started to call Roger on the way home)… along with several paintings(they have built up a collection over many years) We looked around: — A shop full of jewellery/clocks/sculptures and paintings — A gallery of be-autiful photographs — A couple of different studios and shops full of paintings — A textile shop — A shop for art supplies — A framing shop with pretty cards/cups /small gifts There were a couple of artists that were away, so we didn’t get to see everything, but it was really nice to wander around. They have events, workshops and festivals… as well as a café, so it is a nice place to explore. The prices are reasonable(especially compared to London) so it is definitely worth a peek.

Set in once derelict farm buildings, Patchings Art Centre now houses a Gallery, art and pottery studio, restaurant, framing and art materials shop. I have been here on several occasions and it’s a great half day out if you are in the area. The restaurant is lovely and there’s an outdoor seating area for sunny days. Bunting brightens up the buildings and there are lovely flowers. Sometimes the little shops don’t stick to their opening hours but it’s worth a look around. It’s a great place to do art courses or visit an exhibition or fair — when it can get very busy. I went to the Teddy Bear fair and also did a felting course which was very enjoyable.
