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.

Make Yourself at Home!

It might have been the drizzle this morning, or it could have been the lure of the comfy chairs at SerenArts Gallery, but whatever it was this little chap certainly seemed to settle in…

2024 Bradford on Avon Calendar

We wouldn’t normally be producing our Bradford on Avon calendar this early in the year, but we have had a number of requests for the 2024 calendar, so they are now available to purchase from this site or from our gallery at the Tithebarn Workshops.

The Big Move

Things are continuing to progress at Unit 1 and we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel! The counter is going in and the window ledge is already in. The art area is pretty much there and Serena has started painting artistically again… rather than decoratively!

We are hoping to be in within the next 10 days or so, and we will post some more photos very soon.

We can’t wait to get in and start the next chapter of SerenArts Gallery.

Spring has Sprung!

It has certainly taken its time this year but Spring how appears to be here in all its beautiful colours. The cherry trees are full of blossom and the flower beds are showing their true colours again.

Why not pop down to the Tithebarn Workshops and give yourself a little lift? It really is a lovely place to spend some time.

SerenArts is Moving…

We are very excited to announce that after 14 years at the Tithebarn Workshops, we are moving. Don’t worry, you won’t need a sat nav to find us… we’re going to Unit 1, which is just 2 doors down from where we are now! Current occupant, Andre will be retiring at the beginning of May and we are moving in on Wednesday 10th May.

It will give us the additional space to expand Serena’s artwork and gallery area, as well as our printing and shop areas. Serena will also have the space to offer a range of painting courses, so watch out for more information about that in the coming months.

We have been wanting to take the next step in our growing business and the new unit will give us the ideal opportunity to expand and offer more to the local community and visitors to the Workshops. Thank you to all our customers for their support and we look forward to many more happy years at the Tithebarn Workshops in Unit 1.
