Rochester – Ann Palmer Artist

Medway Open Studios July 2026

This year my studio is open from Saturday 4th July for the first two weekends and during these two weeks until Wednesday 15^th July. Come and see what is going on! I am open from 10am until 5pm daily except Monday and Thursday, with late opening until 7pm on Friday and Saturday.

I have a new studio extension to show you, this is a space where I can work on the table top but is also a store; this means I have more painting space in my main studio, where you will find some of my work displayed on the wall as well as being able to see my work in progress! Cards and prints as always. I shall have drinks and cake and you must see our lovely garden!

Medway Open Studios and Arts Festival 2026 is set for Saturday 4th to Sunday 19th of July, offering a free art trail with fascinating studios and arts venues, with many studios grouped together within walking distance and a prize draw for visitors who collect the signatures of studios they visit in the festival brochure.

Now in our 14th year, our open studios trail regularly attracts over 25 venues to visit, and work on show by over 200 artists. Each year, visitors are welcomed to explore the hidden creative workspaces and studios across Medway. Along the trail, you can take part in art activities and events, view exhibitions, talk to the artists, purchase art and classes, and see firsthand the array of artistic talent and opportunities in this immensely creative area of Kent. In Rochester we are a group centred around King Edward Road and Roebuck Road, including painting, printmaking, jewellery, ceramics, photography, textiles, illustration and animation.

Visitors welcome any time during Open Studios and other days by appointment – Contact Ann
