feeling arty?

Our annual residential art course is fast approaching. Nine course attendees stay in our beautiful holiday cottages in Mid-Devon's rolling hills and paint each day in the conservatory and around the grounds under the expert tutelage of Lynda Kettle. Lynda uses mixed-media including watercolour and pastels. 

This year’s course is fully booked but if you’d like to see (and perhaps buy) some fabulous art there are two forthcoming exhibitions at Kennaway House in Sidmouth both of which feature our art tutor Lynda Kettle and loads more talented local artists.

Sidmouth Society of Artists’ annual Summer Exhibition opens tomorrow Friday 28th June and runs 'til Thursday 11th July. Open 10am-4.30pm each day. We shall be visiting at the end of our art course on Wednesday 10th. Then an Artist Collective Exhibition opens in the same place from 22nd July til 31st July. 

Lynda also has a studio and shop in Sidmouth at the Loft Studio in Libra Court off Fore Street, Sidmouth, EX10 8AJ. Do drop in and see her next time you are in town. 

And, a date for your diary - this year's Devon Open Studios runs from 7th to 22nd September. The three larger cottages are fully booked during the first week but we have good availability during the second week from 13th September. 

​Time for the beach...
 
Sidmouth is one of our favourite beach towns to visit, with a great long beach and promenade, including some red sand up at the Jacob's ladder end (pictured below), great shopping and eateries along the sea front and in the pedestrianised centre. One of our faves.

Here's a link to the Beach Page on our website to get you inspired for your summer hols.
