We need artists amd makers to help us celebrate Bodmin's past !

If you love to paint, draw or make any kind of art we are inviting you to explore the spirit, stories and atmosphere of Bodmin’s historic Riding Festival — a tradition dating back to the 1400s, where the town’s history comes alive through costume, procession, folklore and celebration.

From ancient legends and forgotten tales to landscapes, heritage and imagination — we want to see your creative response to the echoes of Bodmin’s past.

We will have an exhibition of the artwork in the Gallery beginning on the first weekend of July for the Riding Festival.
