The Ribchester Art Club meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month between 1.30 & 3.30 p.m. in Saint Peter and Saint Paul’s Parish Centre, Stydd Lane, Ribchester PR3 3YQ. (Not any 5th Wednesday) The Club has been established for over 30 years. We have a varied and interesting programme. Fees £15.00 per quarter. Some meetings are given over to “practical” sessions where members bring along a piece of work that they are currently engaged on. On these occasions you would be likely to see oils, acrylics, watercolours, watercolour pencils, pastels, pen and ink, collage, felt-work and embroidery. It helps to see what and how others do things, listen and make suggestions and comments.
Some meetings are more formal and given over to visiting artists who come to demonstrate a particular technique and run a workshop. We sometimes plan portrait or figure drawing sessions, set up a still life or share ideas. These afternoons are always interesting and give us a chance to see and try things we would not normally do.
Our Annual Exhibition is held on August Bank Holiday Sunday & Monday when we present some of our latest art work, a craft stall, a raffle & refreshments.
The 2025 Ribchester Art Club annual exhibition is held on the August Bank Holiday Sunday 24th and Monday 25th August from 10am – 4pm at St Peter and Paul Parish Centre, Stydd Lane, Ribchester. Visitors to the exhibition consistently praise the high standard of work and the variety of styles and methods. Besides the excellence of the artwork and the friendly atmosphere, there is a cafe with lovely cakes, and free parking. Visiting the exhibition is an enjoyable bank holiday experience, especially if combined with a walk along the river, or a visit to the children’s playground or the Roman baths. There are opportunities to buy original art (framed or unframed) for very reasonable prices, and to find artworks celebrating the beauty of the local area. Club members work in all different media in painting, drawing, textiles, printing, and collage. There is a vibrant theme of experimentation and the sharing of experience and knowledge.
