Our Exhibitions

The Guild holds two Exhibitions each year, one in Spring and the other in Autumn. Both Exhibitions are in the Spanish Barn, situated in the beautiful grounds of Torre Abbey in Torquay. The Exhibitions showcase the works of our members, and are a real highlight of the vibrant creative scene in the Torbay region. The exhibitions are free entry for visitors (and canine friends are welcome!)

The Spring Exhibition is held in March each year, and is a wonderful way to experience the colour and creativeness of what Torbay has on offer. It typically coincides with Mothers Day, so its a wonderful way to spend a day with the whole family.

The Autumn Exhibition is held among the stunning autumn foliage of the grounds of Torre Abbey. It has the additional feature of a celebration afternoon, whereby carefully chosen renowned artists who are independent of the Guild, select exceptional exhibits for awards.
