Consider yourself a creative? Wimbledon Art Fair returns from the 15-18 November this year with plenty of new works from over 150 leading artists in London. The fair spans over 4 days with many unique workshops and events that are unmissable for any art-crazed fan.
As an exclusive visitor, you'll also be given access to the private studios, where there will be an opportunity to network and meet with the artists and makers behind some of London's finest pieces.
This Art Fair will be hosted at the not-for-profit Wimbledon Art Studios - 2 buildings, 8 floors and 150 studios to explore, where you can browse and buy. This approach allows visitors to both support the local creative community and receive the benefits of buying directly from the artists.
So whether you're after a unique gift for Christmas, or buying something affordable for your home, or even some original piece of art - there really is something for everyone.
