Painting Padiham

The popular plein-air painting event returns with professional and amateur artists painting live in the grounds of the hall and around Padiham town centre.

Gawthorpe Hall is open for free all day so come and see the historic rooms, enjoy the views from the windows and find out more about the history of the Hall from our fantastic volunteers. Follow the paintings trail to see the lovely pictures that we have on display and when you’re done head out into the grounds to see the artists capturing the scene in oil paint forever.
