Art in Action is a feast for the soul and the senses. As one of the longest running art and craft festivals in the UK, it brings together hundreds of artists in a vast array of artistic disciplines offering beauty, inspiration and creativity.

Artists set up their studios and work in marquees set in the beautiful grounds of Waterperry House near Oxford, offering visitors a rare opportunity to observe the creative process first hand and to speak to the artists.

Music, dance and drama are also showcased, with performances from all over the world taking place in the new Waterperry amphitheatre. Practical classes are offered by some of the UK’s finest Art Schools and Guilds and if you inspired by that you can also purchase a wide range art and craft materials on site.

A highlight for many is the craft market where 100 + designer makers offer their fine work for sale.
