Business As Usual

We thought we had better just let everyone know that it is business as usual at the Tithebarn Workshops, despite the rather hectic goings on down here at Barton Farm!…

Over the last few days it has been all hands to the pump (literally!) at Barton Farm. The brand new, very expenisve tank at the top of Pound Lane appears to be causing a few ‘issues’ shall we say! Wessex Water have been working round the clock to sort the problems out and have been a great help to the studios that have been hit by all this rain. Fingers crossed for a nice dry spell now.

We are OPEN!

Autumn Fayre Cancelled

tithebarn workshops autumn fayre cancelled


After the big build up and Serena and Jackie’s stella performance on BBC Radio Wiltshire, to promote the event (thank you very much Sue Davies), it is with huge regret that we are having to cancel this Sundays Tithebarn Workshops Autumn Fayre.

Our sincere apologies for anyone who had made firm plans to visit on Sunday, but the weather has beaten us this time, as we felt we just couldn’t risk the safety of our visitors, exhibitors and musicians.

The studios and Vixy’s Cafe will all be open as usual so if you would still like to come down to the Workshops we would love to see you… just bring your raincoats!

We will keep you up to date with the other upcoming events and hope the cancellation hasn’t spoiled your plans too much.

Barton Farm

If you get stuck in Bradford on Avon’s rather notorious traffic, why not give yourself a little break from the stress and follow one of these signs…


… head down Pound Lane to Barton Farm – a wonderful spot at the heart of Bradford on Avon.

We are lucky enough to call this our place of work, although it’s an absolute pleasure to be coming here each day! You will find not just the stunning Tithe Barn but a great selection of studios, shops and cafes, together with the West Barn, which regularly hosts exhibtions and events.

SerenaPughArt on Etsy

/ SerenArts Gallery / Leave a comment

We have recently opened up our first Etsy shop to promote and sell Serena’s range of fine art prints that we offer.

The best way to get hold of Serena’s artwork is to come and meet the artist at our beautiful gallery, at the Tithebarn Workshops, and buy it in person. But if you’re not able to get to Bradford on Avon then our new Etsy outlet is a great place to obtain a giclee print. A larger range of original artwork and prints are also available from Serena’s website.
