Devon Open Studios

On 12th September 2026 to 20th September 2026

Devon Open Studios is the annual flagship event of Devon Artist Network. For two weeks in September, members of the network – potters, artists, jewellery makers, wood workers, needle workers and creatives of every kind, open their doors and invite people in to discover their work and to chat to the artists themselves about their processes and inspiration. Work will also be on sale and it can be a perfect opportunity to purchase unique artwork direct from the maker.

Use their website to see which studios are open on specific dates, or check out all the different categories from leather to fabric, glass to paint, wood to metal. There is bound to be something that will delight you.

Reviews

  • Highly recommend. - From boarding in Paignton, to alighting the ferry in Dartmouth, this journey has to be the best you can take on the English Riviera. It all goes by too quick. Highly recommend.
  • A great day out - The railway is fantastic and all the staff were very kind, polite and only to happy to give any assistance necessary. Can't wait to do it all again but with the grandchildren next time. Thank you to all the staff.
  • Atmospheric steam train - We took the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear and then the ferry to Dartmouth (inc in the ticket). It was a trip back in time and most enjoyable, despite the very rainy weather! Good value for money.
