Art in the Castle

Ayton Castle, Ayton Village, near Eyemouth.

Saturday & Sunday August 23-24.  10.30am - 4pm.

Join us for our annual visit to beautiful Ayton Castle, near Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders. Every year we pop-up in the castle's main rooms with 20 talented artists and makers to exhibit and sell their work.

The castle is still a private home and rarely opens to the public, making this a great opportunity to visit. It's also an informal way to view art, which we display amongst the owners' furniture and their interesting, private contemporary art collection. The castle's little cafe will be open with delicious cakes, bakes and teas and the owner's diesel train will run for rides through the grounds.

Dogs are allowed in grounds only. Please keep on lead at all times due to resident wildlife and peacocks.

Here are the artists and makers joining us at Ayton Castle this year.
