Event Description
Worcestershire Open Studios celebrates ten years of creativity as it returns for 2025. Running from 16 – 25 August, the popular event gives both residents and visitors the chance to discover the work of 167 talented artists and makers, who will be opening their studios and exhibition spaces to the public across 105 separate venues around the county.
Expect a vibrant mix of paintings, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography and much more besides. Plus, meet the creatives to find out more about their work, their inspiration and their techniques, and perhaps find the perfect piece to take home. In addition, lots of artists will be offering workshops and demos, giving you the chance to have a go yourself.
Entry to all venues is free, so start planning your visits now using the map, venue details and artist directory on the Worcestershire Open Studios website.
To whet your appetite, here are some of the venues opening their doors in the Malvern Hills District, National Landscape and immediate surrounding areas (even more venues – there are 105 in all – can be found on the Worcestershire Open Studios website).
