2025 Viewing Rooms - The year in review
Our visitors have had the opportunity to learn more about some of the most accomplished artists and makers working in the eastern region, in disciplines like painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, and wood turning - all celebrating what makes our region so unique, reminding us of its enduring natural beauty and cultural significance.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the artists and makers who have chosen to show their work with us over these past few months and for those lined up for 2026.
The inaugural viewing room presentation was in July, featuring with the striking landscape paintings of Caroline Mackintosh alongside recent ceramic work by Laura Huston. In August, we presented a capsule collection of drawings by John Kiki.

Join our mailing list to be the first to her about our ongoing programme of exhibitions at Woolmarket House. We have an exciting programme of artists and makers from across the eastern region, and further afield who will be coming to King's Lynn in 2026.
We would like to extend our best wishes for Christmas and the New Year and look forward to seeing you.
