Summer Exhibition

June 29, 2025 / SerenArts Gallery / Leave a comment

This August, the beautiful gardens of the Tithebarn Workshops will transform into an open-air gallery, celebrating the latest creations from their talented resident artists. From delicate ceramics to striking paintings and contemporary glass sculptures to exquisite silver jewellery, the exhibition promises a feast for the senses in a stunning natural setting.

Visitors can wander through the gardens, discovering unique pieces that reflect the makers’ passion, skill and imaginative flair. The vibrant works blend beautifully with the flowers and greenery, making it a truly immersive art experience.

Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a collector, or simply looking for inspiration, this exhibition offers the perfect opportunity to meet the artists, discuss their processes, and even purchase one of a kind works.

The event will see the return of our fabulous Garden Bar which will open throughout both Saturday and Sunday and we will have live music to create even more of a creative vibe. There will also be food and drink available from Vixy’s Cafe which will be open over the event.

Tithebarn Workshops Spring Fling

April 18, 2025 / SerenArts Gallery / Leave a comment

We’re just about ready at the Tithebarn Workshops for our 2025 Spring Fling. Our brand new Garden Bar is set up and waiting for its first customers when we open tomorrow.

We have lined up live music, tasty tacos, loads of arty goodies, pottery, glass and much more, with stalls in the garden and open studios.

The weather forecast is possible showers, but that won’t dampen our spirits and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone for a special day.

We’ve done a thing!

Preparations are continuing for the Tithebarn Workshops Spring Fling on Saturday 19th April. As well at the 9 stalls that will be selling their arts and creations from the garden, we now also have Tacos and Dreams providing their delicious food, a selection of live music and we have created the all new ‘Garden Bar’…

Thanks to a combination of hard work from the TBW gang, the painting skills of Serena and fabulous wordworking from Tim of TH Furniture, we now have our very own pop up bar ready for events. We have event licences in place for both the Spring Fling and the weekend of the Green Man Festival and we’re all very excited to welcome our first customers! Guest bar tending slots will be filled by all the crew down here, so watch out for your favourite bar staff!!

You will probably have seen quite a few posts and news items following this weeks awful flooding in Bradford on Avon. Well… here’s another one!

Our beautiful little corner of the Town always gets it quite badly, but this one was quite excepitional. We were at the Tithebarn Workshops in 2013, when the measuring station hit 3.42m and we were badly flooded. This time, although it was only 9cm more at 3.51m, did it ever make a difference. Unit 8 here and two neighbouring houses all flooded for the first time, with the water reaching areas that we’d never seen before. Having moved all our stock and goodies up to our usual flood level, we had to then wade back in and move everything up further still.

We have become quite good at second guessing the river levels over the years, but this one took us all by surprise. We set our alarm for 3.30am and it wasn’t looking good, so down we came.

Already at the Workshops and helping out was the truly amazing Danny, one of the town flood wardens and all round superhero! We can’t thank him and his team of volunteers enough for their continued help, advice and input before, during and after this rubbish time.

Having spent a day and half cleaning, spraying and disinfecting we are fully open again and busy with Christmas card printing, commission painting and stocking the shelves ready for Christmas shoppers and our late night Friday.

Tomorrow should have been the Christmas light switch on in town which we were going to be part of, but it had to be cancelled due to the flooding. However, we at the Tithebarn Workshops are going ahead with our day / evening of celebrations, despite everything! We have pop up shops in each studio, a food truck and bar, live music and lots of free mulled wine and cider and mince pies!

Please pop down and join us if you can… we’re all up for a fun day… but don’t try and get over Barton Bridge!

Dates for your Diary…
