A MONTH OF ART

Hopton Hall has great pleasure in inviting all 2D and 3D artists to participate in their Month of Art during July 2025. 

A Symphony of Colour

Hopton Hall has great pleasure in inviting all 2D and 3D artists to participate in their Month of Art during July 2025. 

 

Running alongside the summer opening of the Hall’s beautiful rose gardens, this event will provide free access to the venue for all artists, with a Peak District Artisans’ show on the final 2 days (26th - 27th July).  

 

So, artists, please do come and enjoy the site and share your passion with the public. You are welcome to come on as many days as you wish; it is FREE - there is no need to pre-book (unless you want a gazebo) – simply turn up and get creative! 

 

For non-artists and members of the general public, the Hall’s standard entrance fees of £5 for adults and £2.50 for children 6-16 years (free for those under 6 years) are payable by card only at the gate.

 

Assistance dogs only.

Arrangements For Artists

The artist’s subject matter should be inspired by or reflect an external aspect of the Hall or its gardens; the wonderful flowers, trees and architecture on offer are guaranteed to get those creative juices flowing!  Artists can therefore choose where they wish to set up around the site’s public areas.  Artists who are active on-site are also invited to display and sell artwork at the event.

​

Artists are asked to please bring all of your own equipment and supplies. 

 

However, Hopton Hall is providing 20 gazebos this year which can be prebooked below, and then allocated on the day, on a first-come, first-served basis.  These can be used for a variety of purposes including selling and demonstrating, creating art, or just sheltering from inclement weather.  

 

Please note that all gazebos have been reserved for the 26th and 27th July to host the Peak District Artisans’ show. 

 

The gazebos will be pre-erected and secured to the ground alongside the footpath leading to the rose gardens; they will be on the lawn to the front of the Hall, providing a wonderful view of the façade.  Each gazebo is 3m x 3m with dark grey walls; they can be fully closed or opened as you desire. 

 

Artists will need to bring your own tables, chairs and displays.  Whilst there is no electricity to the gazebo site, there is commercial grade WiFi if you intend to take payments on the day.
