Welcome to The Ayot St Lawrence Art Show 2019

Now in its 45th Year the Ayot St Lawrence Art Show will this year be held from Saturday 15 June to Monday 17 June 2019 in the beautiful Palladian Church.  This year the Art Show will have more of a festival feel as we have introduced a separate art and craft tent that will run on Saturday and Sunday alongside the exhibition offering opportunities for all ages to try watercolour, pastel relief, linoprint and to make handmade crafts – perhaps as gifts for Fathers’ Day.  There will also be a treasure hunt. Come early – the first 50 participants each day will receive a free Childs Farm gift.

To coincide with the Art Show,  our lovely 14th century pub, the Brocket Arms, is also holding its popular annual beer and cider festival with at least 20 additional “guest beverages” as well as live music and a BBQ.  This will start on Friday 14th June.

Each year the Art Show attracts many hundreds of visitors.  The success of the 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 mediums including oil, water colour 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 is a much sought-after selection of unframed art, and a variety of art-based greetings cards designed by the artists.  Here is some of the superb work from last year: visit our Gallery to see more.
