Open from 10am–5pm every day until Sunday, April 27 the exhibition – titled The Wonder of Nature – depicts natural splendor through a variety of media including painting, woodwork, photography, textiles and sculpture.

Attendees can bring along their own sketch pad, watercolour pencils, and brush, but a sketch kit can be bought on the day.
