Directions
If you're coming to see the exhibition From Here to there and Back Again, It might look as if Ashbrittle is cut off from the rest of the world!!
If you're coming from Holcombe direction either cut across to Tracebridge then up the hill or come via Staple Cross ignoring any road closed signs.
If you're coming from the A38 or Wiveliscombe direction follow diversions and ignore the road closed sign just before entering the village.
I will be trying my best to put signs to help you find your way.

Comments
Lovely comments about the new exhibition on Facebook.
“A wonderful day out in sunny Somerset. First stop.....looking at, and interacting with, Michael Fairfax’s beautiful and thought provoking work at the Greenways Studios PV, Ashbrittle, Somerset. The huge ear harp is amazing - when you put your ear to the wood and play the strings you can feel the notes sounding inside you. We also loved the installation of dried flowers, leaves and grasses by Jo Hartas, when you walk in the scent of a wildflower meadow fills the room.
Do go if you can...it showcases the work of ten local artists and is on for two weeks.”
