Open Studios Weekend 2017 - Opening Party

It's back! After last year's extravaganza of demonstrations, and our festive Winter Show, Kingsgate is opening our doors again for the Open Studios 2017!
The eclectic makers, designers, artists and more at Kingsgate open their studios to show you how they create their work, offer you beautiful arts and crafts for sale direct from the maker, and share their skills with you in our fantastic activities programme.
Inside our charming Victorian factory turned labyrinthine artists' studios, over 75 artists, makers and designers will be there to welcome visitors.

Opening Party – Friday 23rd June 7pm-9pm
Come along on the Friday night to nose around the studios, pick up a goody bag, and celebrate with a glass of champagne.

For an extra special experience and a sneak peek at the studios before they open to the general public, book a ticket for the VIP Curators Tour for £15 per person. You'll get to see the highlights of our contemporary artists and hear about their work from acclaimed curator Dan Howard Birt, who also happens to be our Director.
