Central Exhibition


To help you decide which artists to visit this year, go along to our Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall. You will be able to view and buy works by the artists taking part in open studios and other exhibitions around the county.

2023 is bigger and better than ever before with over 350 artworks being exhibited for you to enjoy.


Artists Taking Part

“Lamport Hall has an immensely strong association with art going back to 1676 when Sir Thomas Isham, 3rd Baronet, embarked on his grand tour, which culminated in what is now one of the most notable art collections in the country. Art and the arts are the foundation of cultural fulfilment in Northamptonshire, bringing people together from all backgrounds to celebrate creativity. I am delighted to host Open Studios 2023 in the spectacular Lamport Hall Stableyard.”
