This year, there are more than 20 venues taking part in and around the town with loyal, long-time participants like Vicki Disney, Cosy Christmas Cottage, the Big House and the Pink House joined by a number of new artists including Gio Martin and Janet McCallum.

Organiser Helen Warren said: “For those of you that have never visited an open house or studio, well, you’re in for treat! Come to meet the artists and see artwork in a domestic setting; there is a whole variety of paintings and crafts on show. You’ll find plenty to take your fancy along with cards and festive gifts.”
