DEVON boasts a thriving community of artists covering all formats and working in many different styles.

Whether you are looking for something beautiful to brighten your home, hunting for the perfect gift or just love admiring the work of local artists, the Autumn Art Fair at Eggesford Garden Centre is well worth a visit.

With a number of talented Devon-based artists showing their work, there is bound to be something that catches your eye.

The event takes place on Sunday, September 25 from 11am to 4pm, entry is free and there is plenty of car-parking space.

“The artists seem to like displaying their work in our large glass house as it is such a light and airy space,” said Derrick Dyer, owner of Eggesford Garden Centre.

“The feedback has been really good from both stallholders and customers so we are very pleased to be running the event for the fourth year.

“We have some life-sized driftwood animal sculptures for the first time this year which should be impressive to see.”

From portraits to wildlife, original works in many mediums will be on show along with artist made prints and cards.

Set in the beautiful Taw valley, Eggesford Gardens is a good destination for a day out. There is a well-stocked garden centre selling a wide range of plants along with gifts, books, toys and seasonal goods too.

Delicious home-cooked food is served all day in the Gardens Restaurant and Sunday lunches are especially popular.

There will be more events to come at Eggesford Garden Centre in the run up to Christmas. For more information visit www.eggesfordgardens.com or telephone 01769 580250.
