SANCTUARY
Jonathan Oakes
23- 29 September 2026Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)
An exhibition of truly original Contemporary artworks by Jonathan Oakes‘I seek sanctuary in my artworks, creating them becomes a narrative of expression, a place to outpour my emotional experience of the environment. Therapeutic in understanding the imagination. Sanctuary, individual stories that relate to the underlying theme.’
Jonathan Oakes is an experienced artist who is passionate about the natural world, the majority of his artwork is deeply influenced by environmental concerns. His highly individual paintings are abstract by definition but have an illustrative quality about them. He utilises layers and mark making to add depth and narrative. In general his artworks are created using mixed media on canvas, paper or large abandoned photographs. He hopes to create a starting point for the viewer’s imagination as they contemplate the artwork. -
Clouds and fields
Peter Phipps
30 September- 6 October 2026Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)
‘Hi, I’m Peter, an artist based in the beautiful Cotswolds. I work mainly in oils and acrylics and I’m especially drawn to light, how it shifts through a landscape, warms ancient hills or softens the edges of a memory. A lot of my work has a nostalgic feel, inspired by the quiet charm of the countryside and those small familiar moments that stay with you.I try to paint the kind of scenes that make you pause, maybe even feel something you can’t quite put into words, just that sense of time, place and calm.’

ENDPAPERS
Tricia Crowther
7 - 13 October 2026
Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)
Late night opening, Friday 9th October 5-8pm. All Welcome!Endpapers brings together a new collection of abstract collages by Tricia Crowther, constructed from discarded vintage papers and antique books Tricia strips the materials of their original purpose to focus on shape, texture and colour.
Her process is driven by visual balance, tension and a direct response to the paper itself. Through tearing, cutting and layering, these aged fragments alongside hand painted elements, she builds structured, contemporary compositions.
The title Endpapers references the physical sheets that bind a book together. In this exhibition, Tricia takes what was once overlooked and re-imagines a new narrative. The resultant works are structurally complex yet emotionally resonant echoing the passage of time and the layering of human memory.
Whether you are an emerging or established artist looking to exhibit your work, or a designer or craftsperson looking to launch new products or ideas to public, we want to help.
The 430 sq ft sensitively restored space offers a fantastic ground floor frontage with a direct entrance onto a pretty street in the centre of attractive Montpellier; well known for its bars, restaurants, specialist shops and galleries.
Housed in an immaculately presented grade II listed building , built over 170 years ago, the space is bright, intimate and full of character.
If you would like to join our stable of artists and designers, all you have to register your work in order for it to be reviewed by our team. The reason for doing this is while we are keen to maintain an eclectic mix of styles, we also want to make sure it is the right fit for the space.
The minimum hire period is one week starting at £400, but you may also book for longer periods when available, and we ask for no commission on any of your sales.
As well as hiring out the space to artists and creative businesses, we will also arrange a programme of selected group and solo shows where we will invite people to submit their work for inclusion.
