About

Creatives from around the heart of East Yorkshire are once again opening their doors to the public in May 2025 for a weekend celebration of the arts.

In just a few short years, Pocklington Area Open Studios has rapidly become one of the premier events of its kind in the county - in 2024 the event included 26 artists across 15 attractive locations, drawing visitors from far and wide.

You can see more information about participating PAOS 2024 (and PAOS 2023) artists here.

This compact and enjoyable art trail celebrates quality craftsmanship in its many forms, including painting, ceramics, printmaking, textiles, jewellery, sculpture and photography.

Visitors will be able to meet this diverse and welcoming group of makers and painters in person - many in their own studios and creative surroundings.
