Norfolk Open Studios, which has around 400 local artists welcoming visitors into their private work space, is set to take place autumn 2021.

For 16 days each year, the award-winning event celebrates the county’s artists and their achievements by offering them the opportunity to exhibit, sell and talk about their work.

The scheme will take place from September 25 to October 10 next year.

The event was cancelled this year to protect the safety of artists and visitors during the Covid-19 pandemic.
