We've reached the grand old age of 10!!! It only seems like yesterday that we opened the doors. To celebrate this significant milestone for Mushroom Works we’ll be showcasing the very best of the best in groundbreaking art and design from the region with our Spring Salon weekend.

Our Spring Salon provides a unique experience to come see what fresh ideas, designs and products have been mulling over in the creative minds of the artists and designers based here. And as we celebrate ten years, we’ll be taking an opportunity to welcome back some previous tenants to find out what new work they have been working on and developing since their time with us.

The Spring Salon is a great opportunity to come and meet these artists and designers in their studios and buy or commission work from them direct. There is so much to see and explore with paintings, furniture, jewellery, pottery, textiles, illustrations and design products all available to buy over the weekend.

We'll have a cosy area too where you can sit and relax with a hot drink and some cake or let your little ones get creative with our family colouring-in sheets.
