Welcome to The Ayot St Lawrence Art Show

Thank you to everyone – artists, visitors and volunteers – who helped make last year’s 50th anniversary Ayot St Lawrence Art Show such a big success.  We had a wonderful weekend of celebration: with artist demonstrations, various giveaways, and a raffle (in which first prize was an Andrew King oil painting); as well as the usual excellent display of art, very enjoyable Preview Evening, and tea and cakes over the weekend.

We are now looking forward to this year’s Show, which will be held in over the weekend of 20th-21st June 2026, with the Preview Evening on Friday 19th June.

The success of the Ayot Art Show is ultimately down to the quality of the artwork.  We have a fantastic range of artists, many of whom exhibit with us every year in a variety of styles and media including oil, watercolour and acrylic. Each year we keep the Show fresh by inviting new artists to exhibit with us.  In addition to the framed art available for sale, there are browsers full of excellent unframed art, plus a variety of art-based greetings cards designed by the artists.

The Art Show is held in the beautiful Grade I listed Palladian Church of the charming village of Ayot St Lawrence; a truly memorable location for the Show.  Please click here to see some of the superb work previously entered.  And if you are an artist, please click here to see the Information for Artists.
