Street parking is tricky but possible. I suggest parking in Waitrose car park, spend £10 and get one and half hours free parking.
We take credit cards but due to charges prefer cash. Cash machine on Western Road at Sainsburys Local.

Our biennial show is now in its sixth year, we were runner up for Best Open House in 2015, 2018 and 2022 and finally awarded BEST OPEN HOUSE in 2024...and we were thrilled.
We show only dog art, over 200 pieces of the very best available. Fifteen artists will be exhibiting, seven of the most popular from past shows and eight new artists. Whilst being loyal and devoted to dogs, we explore how dogs can be be portrayed in different mediums. New for this year, we have Eli Inking flash tattooing his canine tattoos and before anyone worries, for humans only.
The DOG SHOW is co-ordinated by Joanna Osborne. She and Sally Muir have made a career out of their love for dogs. They are the co-authors of the best-selling Best In Show series of knitting books; Sally is an accomplished artist, mainly of dogs.
We will be serving teas, cakes by composer and cookery writer Orlando Gough, and free homemade treats for all dogs.
