Our incredibly popular Framing Service now has an even greater choice

Published on by Participate In ArtLeave a comment

The Gallery decided to extend it’s framing service a year ago and its been received extremely well by all.

The Gallery pride themselves on maintaining a high quality of materials, workmanship and customer service. We have a great selection of mounts, mouldings and glass to suit any job and turn around high-quality results in a matter of weeks. We now have over 11 types of Glass, 150 different Mounts and 500+ Mouldings all carefully selected by us.

Chris and Jilly have a great artistic eye and work closely with ever customer to achieve the best possible results, which is key to the perfect outcome. We never forget that we’re temporary custodians of your precious, priceless and often irreplaceable artwork.

Our Cross Stritch and Merchandise framing has also become extremely popular as some framers don’t take on these difficult and multi-disciplined jobs.

The Gallery has the pleasure to announce its July Meet the Artist Evening

Meet the Artist Evening with Watercolour Artist and Art Tutor Kirstie Trobe, on Friday 29th July from 5pm till 8pm at The Gallery, High Street, Pershore, WR10 1EU.

Meet the Artist – Kirstie Trobe

Kirstie is a Worcestershire based fine artist and art tutor, producing not just beautiful original artwork and undertaking private commissions, but classes and workshops too.

“I work primarily in watercolour, mainly from photographs (animals and children make poor sitters), and occasionally in pastel. However, underlying any work is the basic fundamental, drawing. It’s something that should be practised regularly so I feel very privileged to be able to transfer this skill from my drawing demonstrations in my art classes to a finished painting.” – Kirstie Trobe

The Gallery supports the 2022 Pershore Open Gardens

Published on by Participate In ArtLeave a comment

The Gallery is pleased to announce that it’ll be open on Sunday 12th June from 11am till 4pm in support of the 2022 Pershore Open Gardens. This is in addition to its normal Saturday 10am till 6pm hours.

The Gallery wishes to offer visitors to Pershore the opportunity to pop into the art gallery on the High Street during this beautiful and colourful event. Pershore is blessed with a number of great annual events and being part of the National Open Garden Scheme is just one of them.

Pershore Gardens

Most years about twenty gardens open in Pershore. This small town has been opening gardens as part of the NGS for 50 years, almost continuously. In those days the open gardens were in the Georgian heart of the town but now, gardens open from all over the town. Some gardens are surprisingly large, well over an acre, while others are courtyard gardens. All have their individual appeal and present great variety. The wealth of pubs, restaurants and cafes offer ample opportunities for refreshment while the Abbey and the River Avon are some of the many points of interest in this market town. Tickets, which take the form of a map and garden descriptions, are valid for both days. They can be purchased a week before the event at ‘Blue’ in Broad Street or at the Town Hall. On the weekend they can be bought at Number 8 Community Arts Centre in the High Street and any open garden.

Gardens are open all over the town including Bridge street B4084, Broad Street, Newlands, Defford Road, Station road, Cherry Orchard, Priest Lane & Hunter Rise (off Three Springs Road).

Admission: Adult: £7.50, Child: Free

An experience you won’t forget

With the three towns of Droitwich Spa, Evesham and Pershore together with nearly 100 villages and hamlets including the beautiful Broadway, visitors can be forgiven for not having explored all the year-round wonders available to them. It’s an area of sheer diversity; not only in its surroundings, but also with its offering meaning it’s a perfect visitor destination.

Whether it’s the award-winning idyllic parks set within close proximity to the wonderfully characteristic towns, or the high streets boasting an array of independent shops offering a unique shopping experience; the escape from the hustle and bustle of major cities is one to be cherished and enjoyed.

The rural nature of the district makes it an ideal setting for walkers and cyclists alike, whilst the area being a horticultural haven makes local food and drink produce a ‘must taste’ experience. Waterways lovers will be spoilt for choice with the River Avon meandering through Evesham and Pershore, and with the canal in Droitwich Spa, boat trips on the water are a must for a relaxing time.

A visit to Worcestershire’s Vale & Spa this Christmas will be an experience you won’t forget, and hopefully one that will make you want to return again and again!

Our ‘Win this Christmas with Worcestershire’s Vale & Spa’ competition with Free Radio Herefordshire & Worcestershire is live too. Thank you so much to all the businesses that have contributed – we’ve gathered a whopping £1,000 worth of prizes!
