Annual Schools Exhibition launch event at the Burton at Bideford


The Burton at Bideford Annual Schools Exhibition launches 2026 with a diverse range of artworks showcasing the talent, imagination and creativity of young people aged 4-18 from the local area.

With no set theme, the exhibition is a glimpse into the inspirations and concerns of our next generation of artists. It is also a celebration of their teachers and the contribution of art to encouraging creativity and innovation across the curriculum.

Submissions are accepted from schools and colleges across Torridge and neighbouring boroughs, and include artworks in a variety of media. An awards programme organised by The Arts Society North Devon spotlights outstanding entries in the exhibition and culminates in an awards ceremony.

You are warmly invited to help celebrate the opening of the exhibition at the gallery on Friday 30th January, 4pm–6pm. 

Speeches at 5pm, refreshments kindly provided by Asda.

Heritage Open Days Talk: Bideford Ceramics and International Maritime Trade

As part of Heritage Open Days, The Burton is presenting a mini-exhibition of ceramics selected from its archive, displaying works not typically accessible to the public (13th-21st September). This will focus on the relationship between Bideford’s history of ceramics and international maritime trade, both of which saw the town’s influence stretch across the globe. 

Come along on Sunday 14th September to hear more about this fascinating topic from Sadie Green, an expert in North Devon Pottery and its export to the Eastern seaboard of America in Elizabethan times. Sadie’s talk is free to attend but booking is required.


Call the gallery on 01237 471455 or book via our website at https://www.burtonartgallery.co.uk/exhibitions-activities/heritage-open-days-talk-bideford-ceramics-and-international-maritime-trade/
