Events

The Old Lock Up Gallery is a beautiful Grade II Listed Building which lends itself perfectly to a diverse range of events that are both unique and intimate experiences. Below are the forthcoming events planned for the coming months in our peaceful creative space. 

introducing our first ‘Art Cafe’ - join us on the 2nd March for ‘The Art of Mindful Seeing - Landforms. 

We often view art too quickly and make judgements on whether we like or dislike a piece of work based on previous experiences or preconceived ideas. This event allows us to question and explore these judgements. Step into the beautiful setting of our gallery and current exhibition of expressive landscape paintings to explore how to engage with the work in the show mindfully and acquire skills/insights into how to see art fully.

We’ll start the evening with some simple mindfulness practices - have you heard of the mindfulness exercise involving a raisin? We’ll be supplementing the raisin with a delicious hand made chocolate - made in the village by Taylor-Wilde Chocolatiers. We’ll then experience 1-2 other mindfulness practices before moving on to look at the work within the gallery space.

We’ll then end the evening with wine and some delicious nibbles!

This event is for you if you want to explore the way in which you engage with art, are interested in mindfulness and want to spend an evening in the gallery with others who appreciate art by the log burning stove.

We often view art too quickly and make judgements on whether we like or dislike a piece of work based on previous experiences or preconceived ideas. This event allows us to question and explore these judgements. Step into the beautiful setting of our gallery and current exhibition of vibrant paintings to explore how to engage with the work in the show mindfully and acquire skills/insights into how to see art fully.
