After months of anticipation, Peterborough Artists Open Studios 2026 opens its doors this Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you in.
This year, as every summer, PAOS invites you behind the scenes of the region’s thriving creative community — and the 2026 programme is shaping up to be a brilliant one. From painters and sculptors to photographers, jewellers, and makers, artists across the area are opening their private workspaces to the public, offering a rare opportunity to see where and how art is made.

Whether you’re hoping to find a one-of-a-kind piece to take home, curious about a particular technique, or simply want a wonderful way to spend the weekend, there’s something for everyone — and entry to all studios is completely free. Paos
One of this weekend’s highlights is Venue 24 at 30 Fenlake Business Centre, where wire sculpture jeweller Dee Bullimore of Dee-zyn Jewellery is throwing open her studio and school alongside four other artists. Expect to see jewellery, paintings, fluid art, oils, watercolours, and mixed media all under one roof — plus the chance to try your hand at wire sculpting in a jewellery taster workshop. It’s a wonderful place to start your trail.
Use the PAOS website or brochure to find participating artists and their opening times, and navigate your own bespoke art trail using the interactive map. Look out for the red Open Studios banners when you’re out and about — they’ll guide you to the door. Paos
This is just the first of three wonderful weekends. The trail continues on 4th–5th July and 11th–12th July, so there’s plenty of time to explore — but why not make this Saturday the start of your summer art adventure?
We’ll see you out there.
