Art in the Castle

Ayton Castle, Ayton Village, near Eyemouth.

For the past three years we have staged our annual Art in the Castle at beautiful Ayton Castle, near Eyemouth in the Scottish Borders - popping-up in the castle's grand main rooms with 20 talented artists and makers, amongst the owners' furniture and own colourful private contemporary art collection.

The castle is still a private home and rarely opens to the public, so our events provided a great opportunity to visit.

Sadly 2025 may be our last time at Ayton because the castle has recently been put up for sale and all future events suspended.

 

We had a fantastic time at our recent

August event and would like to thank the owners, Estate factor and all the staff who have welcomed us back each year.

  Here are the artists and makers who joined us at Ayton Castle in 2025.
