En Plein Air Art Competition at Painswick Rococo Garden
Saturday 16 May 2026
Rococo Garden welcomes the third En Plein Air Painting Competition, inviting artists and visitors to enjoy a full day of outdoor creativity.
The garden transforms into an open-air studio as dozens of painters capture its beauty, character and atmosphere live on canvas. From hidden corners to sweeping vistas, artists will interpret the landscape in their own distinctive styles.
The competition is open to 2D artists of all ages, abilities and media, welcoming both seasoned painters and enthusiastic beginners. Visitors are invited to explore the garden, watch artworks take shape and experience the creative process up close.
Artists wishing to take part can register in advance. Visitors can either pre-book tickets or simply turn up on the day to enjoy the event.
