as a cultural experience in itself. The House, originally a border fortification,
exudes an air of calm tranquillity and stands in a relatively small
and intimate parkland. As well as in marquees, work will be displayed
in the grounds.
This year's exhibitors are from Australia, Belgium, France, Germany,
the Netherlands, Japan and from the length and breadth of the UK.
