Village Diary

Village Diary... Things change so check with the organiser before setting out. Are you running an event? Please send brief details (preferably following the format below) to causeway.editor@gmail.com in plenty of time!

If you are an art lover – or just like a peak behind the scenes – come along to the Artists Around Wetherby Open Studios which will be back in September. The event is free and runs on 4th & 5th and 11th & 12th 10am- 5pm each day. Paintings, pottery, sculpture, glass, textiles, prints and cards will be for sale and you can meet and chat with the artists and see them at work in their own studios.

This year Artists Around Wetherby is bigger and better than before. Artists who did not take part last year because of the pandemic are back again and there are several new artists taking part making a total of 29 participants that you can visit over the two weekends. These include local artists in Walton and Thorp Arch as well as villages around Wetherby, and the town itself. Look out for the orange signs and balloons that mark the location of participating studios – no need to book, just pop in (subject to any Covid restrictions at the time). Maps are available nearer the time to print at home (see website) or local shops (Castlegate Stationery and Touchwood in Wetherby and Yeadons and Costcutter in Boston Spa). For further information please contact Rachel Bentley (Walton artist) 07976 621496 or visit www.artistsaroundwetherby.com
