Thank you

…to all our wonderful visitors – you helped to make the 2026 Wirral Open Studio Tour weekend the best yet! We hope you enjoyed exploring our artists’ studios, finding out about their processes and seeing their work, and that you will join us again in 2027 for the next Wirral Open Studio Tour on 12th-13th June 2027.

About the Tour

The Wirral Open Studio Tour is a free self-guided tour taking place in June each year, in which local artists invite the public to visit their studios, workshops and display spaces. It is an excellent opportunity to talk first-hand to the artists and to view their work in the environment in which it was created, or to just enjoy exploring the various venues attempting to answer that eternal question ‘What do artists do all day?’

The tour was initially set up in 2009 in the Hoylake/Meols area by Canadian artist Micheline Robinson as ‘Artists in Our Midst’ and quickly evolved into a Wirral-wide event which has now grown to include around 100 artists each year.

Our artists work in a variety of disciplines including painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, glass, textiles and jewellery; so whatever you’re interested in there will be something for you.

Join our mailing list now to be kept up to date with the Wirral Open Studio Tour and other carefully selected local arts events.

The Wirral Open Studio Tour is brought to you each year by a dedicated and hardworking team of volunteers made up of participating artists and enthusiastic supporters of the event.
