Wildlife Art in the North

An exhibition of paintings and sculptures by some of the UK's most celebrated rural artists is being held in Northumberland this October to raise funds for wildlife research charity the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT).

The Northern Wildlife Art Exhibition will be held at Mowden Hall School near Stocksfield, beginning with an evening preview on Wednesday 26th October from 6pm-8.30pm. The exhibition will then be open for general viewing from 10pm-4pm on Thursday 27th & Friday 28th October and from 10am-1pm on Saturday 29th October. Tickets for the evening preview are £10 each to include wine provided by Corney & Barrow and canapes.
