Join me for 3 days of exclusive access to the incredibly beautiful house and grounds of Acton Scott Hall and the adjacent Working Victorian Farm in rural Shropshire! Take advantage of a rare opportunity to visit and paint the characterful private Elizabethan home of the Acton family.

Develop your painting skills with plenty of practical painting time and lots of helpful advice and guidance from Vicki who will be on hand all day to support your learning. Painters in all media and of all skill levels are welcome! (Complete beginners should take some time in advance to familiarise themselves with the practice of painting en plein air and the equipment required.)

We are also now delighted to offer full access to the adjacent Working Victorian Farm with rare breed cattle, chickens and a wealth of period farm equipment and buildings.
