1853 studios welcomes you to its first Christmas fair, celebrating our wonderful makers, artists and small businesses. We will be opening our doors and bar to invite you to get into the Christmas spirit with us.

Enjoy a mulled w**e or a hot chocolate with plenty of Christmas craft activities for all ages. You can make a Christmas wreath or have a Christmas photoshoot which will be donation based raising money for our studio artist's Richards charity supporting war veterans.

Our gallery will be transformed into a creative selection of artists, makers and stall holders selling affordable handmade items to give something unique this Christmas and support local artists. From ceramics to organic bath bombs and soaps to handmade cards, prints and so much more.

Come and celebrate our studios, with a Christmas day out for all to enjoy.

Exhibition Announcement - Points Of Departure

4th - 6th December 2026

Eight artists, eight very different practices, one point of departure. “Points of Departure” reunites
eight artists, almost exactly one year after they graduated from the Master of Fine Art course at
Central St Martins Art School in London. Now they are back together at the other end of a year, and
the better end of the country. Each has been on their own artistic journey, navigating life, and
evolving their practice, from oil painting, to sculpture, to digital art, to performance, exploring themes
from death, feminism, climate change, and social injustice. Visit Mill 2 Gallery, 1853 Studios and
Gallery to answer the question: what a year of being
an artist in the UK can do to someone?
