Art in the Gardens returns for its 21st year to Sheffield’s Botanical Gardens on 7th-8th September.
Each year, the Botanical Gardens is home to one of the largest outdoor art markets in Northern England, celebrating the work of artists and makers from across the UK. The wide range of stalls will include a selection of jewellery, ceramics, fine art, sculpture, glass work and so much more, from both returning and brand-new vendors.
The picturesque backdrop makes it the perfect location for the market as well as a wonderful day out for all ages, welcoming thousands of visitors year on year to explore the variety of makes on offer.
Alongside premier artists and professional crafters, Art in the Gardens will again feature budding talent from Sheffield Young Artists (facebook.com/SheffieldYoungArtists), offering a fantastic opportunity for local school students to showcase their work.
Also returning this year is the annual Open Art Exhibition competition which praises featured artists for their achievements in a range of categories. Each artist will get their chance to shine, with awards and commendations on offer for all mediums from photography and portraiture to abstract pieces and landscapes.
Featuring artwork in the pavilions, marquees, and sculpture displayed on the garden lawns, visitors will be able to explore every bit of the gardens and meet the artists while browsing. The event will also offer a selection of locally sourced food and drink so everyone can make the most of their trip.
Art in the Gardens opens Saturday 7th-Sunday 8th September, 10.30am – 5.30pm. Tickets can be bought in advance via Eventbrite (£7.21) Under 16s go free, but must be accompanied by an adult.
