Have we managed to fit in twenty local artists and makers (and still with room for visitors?) Yes we have! Its been busy but we have had time for the odd moment of relaxation and the opportunity to make more art. The garden has been a magnet - although the north facing gallery cafe has a welcome cool because of the pub cellar!

Its been a glorious four days and we are all looking forward to another four days before we close this show down on 2nd July. The artists have been splendid and the visitors have been interested and at times intrigued. Its been especially lovely to show off the place to Rugby MP Mark Pawsey, Mayor Cllr Maggie O'Rourke (who launched our event), Deputy Mayor Simon Ward and several other local councillors. We love to explain what is happening here. z
Our last weekend we are open Thursday 2-8pm (29th June), and Friday-Sunday 10am-4pm (30th June to 2nd July). That Sunday is the last day of WOS23, but please consult the local guide or WOS brochure to check opening times for other venues as they may close before Sunday.
Here are some further pictures (many taken by John Thompson who exhibited here during WOS last year) to remind us of what happened last weekend. If you have not visited then these may whzet your appetite for the next round?
