If you're looking for a day out in early September, why not plan a visit to Creatives at the Castle? This special two-day event will take place at the historic Oakham Castle on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September, 10am–4pm, and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy beautiful surroundings while browsing unique art, prints, ceramics, glass, and more.

The event will showcase an inspiring mix of work, including original prints, paintings, ceramics, and glass. Exhibiting artists include Samantha Brockway, Lisa Brodie, Claire Brown, Tania Kent, Sarah Luke, Alex Parker, Jay Seabrook, Estelle Slegers Helsen, Emma Turner, and Chrissy Wilson.

Set against the backdrop of England's most complete Norman Great Hall, Creatives at the Castle offers visitors the chance to enjoy high-quality, handmade art in one of Rutland's most historic venues. Entry is free, with a café open on Saturday and convenient public parking available at Burley Road car park (LE15 6DH).

Creatives at the Castle is also part of the Northants & Rutland Open Studios annual festival, which runs throughout September. The festival celebrates creativity across the counties, with artists opening their studios and pop-up exhibitions in a wide range of venues. If you're planning a full day out, you'll also find another event running just around the corner at Victoria Hall in Oakham.

"We're delighted to bring such a diverse group of artists together in this unique setting," said Alex Parker an artist exhibiting at the event. "It's a wonderful opportunity for people to enjoy a day out, meet the makers and take home something special."
