Patchings Art Fest
One of the most popular and successful art events in the country comes home to Vantom Village for its next chapter.
A legacy of art, carried on
Patchings Art Fest grew out of the art centre founded by Chas Wood – an idea that began in 1987 and, in the years since, became an important part of the art calendar for visitors and artists alike.
In 2027 the festival begins its next chapter on the same grounds: lakes, gardens, courtyard and marquees, with Merchant of Venice for lunch and a village full of makers on your doorstep.
