We are delighted to report that members of the Wessex Guild of Craftsmen will be returning to the much-loved Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, near Romsey in Hampshire, in May 2025. Visitors will have the opportunity to see some top quality art, design and gifts at prices to suit all budgets. Entry to the exhibition is free.

Plus there is a free prize draw to win a £50 voucher to spend in the Sir Harold Hiller Gardens restaurant! Simply complete the form and post it in the box at the exhibition cash desk.

Over two weeks, no less than 20 artists and makers will be showing and selling their work in the exhibition space (located on the left just after you pass the entry kiosk). In the first week (Saturday 8 May to Tuesday 13 May 2025, inclusive), the 10 artists will be Emma Baker (handweaving), Linda Banks (stained glass), Jo Cheer (Lino prints), Vicki Hunt (digital art and ceramics), Jenny Morgan (paintings), Jacquelyn Ready (jewellery), Jacqueline Rolls (willow sculpture), Helen Murchie (Tweed textiles and embroidery), Jerry Smith (landscape paintings), and Wendy Smith (abstract paintings).

Following a changeover day on 14 May, another 10 Wessex Guild artists will fill the space from Thursday 15 May to Wednesday 21 May. These are Elise Barkes (textiles), Sheila Barrow (textile pictures and sculptures), Dorothy Borland (fused glass), Gordon Brown (nature photography), Louise Brown (basketry), Ron Caddy (turned pens), Nicky Heard (felted pictures), Nic Monks (jewellery), Claire Morosi (surface pattern designs), and Vanessa Wells (digital illustration).

The exhibition will be open from 10am to 5pm each day (except the changeover day of 14 May), closing at 3pm on Wednesday 21 May.
