Welcome to the 2026 Upper Broughton Art Show

Exhibiting at the show

We are delighted to invite you to exhibit your work at our May 2026 exhibition. In the past we have attracted over 100 artists from the Midlands and beyond. Last year 50% of exhibiting artists sold at least one piece. The show is a major fund raiser for the Village Hall. Fourwalls Gallery in Melton Mowbray will again be offering a selected artist the opportunity to display and sell their work on a non-commission basis and to frame one of their works free of charge.

Comments about the Art Show

The art show was amazing, such a great event and brilliantly organised. I really liked how the pictures had been grouped together too, it was all very professional. 

It was my third year exhibiting  at the show and was excellent as usual.  

Really enjoyed it – my first time - I was tipped off by Mick Orme how good it was.

Although I have visited the show many times in the past  this was the first time I’ve had the confidence to enter any paintings and am thrilled with the response. It’s a great show so a big thank you to all of you for all your hard work. 

History of the Art Show.

Michael Copley.

In 1983 Upper Broughton Parish Council decided to purchase the Village Hall from the Church. It was in the most appalling condition and Parish Councillor George Harris agreed to form a Village Hall Committee to come up with ideas for raising money to try and improve the Hall. Chris Reeves suggested an exhibition of work by local artists might be a good fund-raising event. George Harris liked this idea and plans were made for a three day exhibition during the August bank holiday of 1983. Rushcliffe Community Arts Department donated £25 as prize money in the hope of attracting artists. This money was split into three prizes of £8 each with the spare £1 designated to help with expenses. Those were the days!
