Wirral Open Studio Tour 2026

The 16th Wirral Open Studio Tour sees almost 100 artists throw open their studios and workspaces across the Wirral peninsula, from Neston to New Brighton and Caldy to Eastham, on Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Around 50 locations sit along the free, self-guided route, including a former greengrocer's in New Brighton, an old fire station in Port Sunlight, a former lifeboat station at Hoylake and a Georgian townhouse in Hamilton Square. Twenty-three studios also open on the evening of Friday, June 12 for a special preview. Started in 2009 by Canadian artist Micheline Robinson, the tour spans painting, printmaking, photography, ceramics, sculpture, glass, woodturning, illustration, jewellery and textiles, and offers a rare chance to meet artists and see their creative processes.
