SerenArts is thrilled to share its latest venture of visibility: our advertising hoarding now proudly displayed in front of the latest new terrace at Larkhall Athletic FC’s ground. It’s a vibrant splash of colour that brings the gallery’s creative spirit straight to match day!

With each home game, the hoarding gives fans and visitors a visual taste of the artistic flair on offer back in Bradford-on-Avon. As shared in a previous match report, “Always nice to see your name on an advertising hoarding!”—and SerenArts is doing just that. This marks a new milestone in the gallery’s local community engagement, strengthening ties between the worlds of sport and art.

Visitors heading to Larkhall will catch a glimpse of SerenArts’ commitment to supporting regional sport, all while promoting original artwork, printing and more. We’re proud to stand with The Larks and excited to welcome locals to come and explore our gallery, the Tithebarn Workshops and the Barton Farm area.

Flood Forum

flooding in bradford on avon


Well that was all rather traumatic! Serena and I went down to the Flood Forum on Monday at the Holy Trinity Church and promptly got interviewed by Points West!

Luckily a large part of my waffling was cut out but they did also cut our praise for the wonderful Flood Wardens we have here in Bradford. It was on the BBC website, but chopped from the news piece, so we will say it again… we think they’re heros. We would also like to thank BBC Points West and in particular Will Glennon for the generous coverage of the flooding situation in Bradford on Avon.

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes from this very well attended event. Hopefully it was more than a PR stunt and some meaningful plans will be put in place to help those in the community that suffer the wrath of the River Avon. Flooding is certainly a problem that is becoming more frequent and more severe, so over to you at the Environment Agency, Wessex Water and Local Council.

Many More to Come…

This month marks a special milestone for SerenArts Gallery – two incredible years in Unit 1 of the Tithebarn Workshops. After 14 wonderful years in Unit 3, the move was a big step, but what an inspiring journey it has been. The new space has breathed fresh energy into the gallery, allowing for more creativity, better displays, and a warmer welcome to our ever-growing community of visitors and art lovers.

SerenArts continues to evolve, offering a vibrant collection of original artwork, prints, cards and gifts, as well as a custom printing and photocopying service. The light and spacious new unit layout has become a hub for creativity, conversation and connection – all things we love.

Looking back, we are immensely grateful for the support that’s helped us flourish. Looking forward, we’re excited to keep growing, creating and sharing the beauty of our work with everyone who walks through our doors.

Here’s to two years in Unit 1 – and to many more to come! If you haven’t visited yet, come and see what makes this space so special. You’re always welcome at SerenArts Gallery.

There’s something wonderfully soothing about a little retail therapy — especially when it comes with a side of blooming beauty!

A stroll through the Tithebarn Workshops is more than just a shopping trip; it’s a feast for the senses. With summer just around the corner the garden is bursting into colour with vibrant blossoms, making your visit a breath of fresh air. Whether you’re browsing handmade crafts, picking up unique gifts, or simply treating yourself, the charm of each workshop is elevated by the floral backdrop just outside.

Take a moment between shops to pause in the garden, perhaps stop for a coffee, listen to the bees, and soak in the colours. It’s a reminder that retail therapy isn’t just about what you buy — it’s about how you feel. And here at the Workshops, surrounded by flowers and creativity, it’s easy to feel inspired, relaxed, and refreshed.

We hope to see you down here soon.
