Now in its 9th year, this celebration of Printmaking is one of the leading exhibitions of its kind in the UK. A blend of 60 Printmakers with over 1000 original artworks to choose from. 

The exhibition reflects the broad spectrum of printing techniques, including woodblock, linocut, etching, screenprint and collagraph, focusing on unusual and different ways printing can be used. A curated area explores the use of printing techniques in collage, printing onto fabrics, paper, ceramics, and even mirror shards. 

We are excited to have a selection of Hester Cox’s haymaking project, a haymaking calendar in 12 linocuts and London artist, Cally Conway’s Lino print inspired clothing collaboration with retail store, Anthropologie.

Open daily 10am to 5.00pm. Free Entry



Our Common Heritage

Visit Rheged’s latest exhibition ‘Our Common Heritage’ in the Community Gallery along retail street.

The exhibition curated by The Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme runs until Christmas and charts the history of the Westmorland Commons and how their role has changed in recent times, incorporating first hand oral history interviews with commoners and farming representatives.
