Art lovers in Essex are in for a treat this weekend as the Great Waltham Art Show returns, offering a vibrant showcase of local creativity.

The event, held at Great Waltham Church, will feature a wide range of artwork from talented artists across the area — including paintings, pottery and jewellery. Visitors can expect hundreds of pieces on display, alongside opportunities to meet artists and learn more about their work.

What to Expect
The show is set to include:

• A large exhibition of artwork from local creatives
• Handcrafted items including ceramics and jewellery
• Live art and craft demonstrations
• Opportunities to purchase unique, locally made pieces

With around 350 items expected to be exhibited, the event promises to be one of the standout community arts showcases in the Chelmsford area.

Location & Community Focus
Set in the heart of the village, the art show highlights the strength of the local creative scene in and around Great Waltham.

Events like this play a key role in supporting independent artists while giving residents and visitors a chance to enjoy accessible, community-led culture.

A Weekend Event for All
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, looking for something different to do locally, or simply fancy browsing unique handmade items, the Great Waltham Art Show offers something for all ages.

It’s also a great opportunity to pick up one-of-a-kind gifts or decorations while supporting local talent.
