This year, the Plein Air Weekend once again formed part of the beloved Le Weekend festival, which takes place every year. Born out of a desire to celebrate our proximity to France and our appreciation of all things French, Le Weekend has transformed into a much-loved family-friendly celebration. This year, it took on a medieval twist, offering attendees captivating medieval life and combat demonstrations. Visitors were treated to a range of crafts, including displays by a blacksmith, a scribe, the first printing press, wheat weaving, coin striking, medieval traders, and many more.

Artists had the freedom to paint wherever their creativity took them, allowing for a diverse array of artworks inspired by Sandwich’s stunning surroundings. Some artists enjoyed working over both days, while others chose to come along on the Saturday or the Sunday, resulting in a delightful variety of art throughout the event.
