Building upon the legacy of the Art on Your Doorstep trail, this weekend is all about getting art out into the open, celebrating our coastal landscape, and honouring two of our most iconic heritage landmarks - the rich history of Torre Abbey and the future restoration of the Pavilion.

On Saturday, walk the Plein Air Artist Trail to see ten professional artists at work on location between Torre Abbey and The Pavilion, inviting you to see our familiar surroundings through fresh, creative eyes.

On Sunday, the creative energy moves to the Abbey’s upper meadow. Bring your preferred materials for our community Mass Paint Out, featuring live still life and movement setups across the landscape alongside free art packs for families. For those wanting a challenge, we’re also hosting Torbay's first formal Plein Air Art Competition, tasking artists of all levels and mediums with a strict four-hour timed window to create new works capturing Torre Abbey and its surroundings.

Whether you are an established professional or just want to get outdoors and have a go, everyone is welcome.
