We have a constant programme of exhibitions, events and activities for all ages.We recently opened up a caf� on site, it runs seven days a week, (only open weekends during exhibitions) and serves tasty home made light lunches, and drinks.

Work by our studio artists is exhibited here, you can also picnic in one of our fields.The artists have regular open studios - contact us for details.'Wysing Gardeners' are a group of local adults with learning difficulties.They maintain the 11-acre site, and also sell plants and flowers, and organically grown vegetables on site.We hold regular workshops for children, adults and family families.Recently our Early Years Group has started, and become a huge success, offering parents and children the chance to make things together.Activities include ceramics, sculpture, painting, mosaic, animation, stone carving and lots more. On the 31st October, we have an afternoon and evening event concerned with light, dark and the planets to launch 'SHINE', the South Cambridgeshire festival of fire, light and sound, including astronomy, and half term workshops.The Grande Finale Fire Sculpture extravaganza will be held at Wysing Arts on Saturday 9th December.

Once you have had your induction, you will be able to use the studios as often or as little as you like, unsupervised or you may require some help.The current exhibition showing at Wysing is an Art/Science collaboration between two artists, Harriet McDougall and Louise K. Wilson, and scientists from Ecoscope Applied Ecologists and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). The exhibitions resulting from the analysis of research into the decline of British wild birds are 'Call and Response' and 'Vanishing Resident'.Wysing Arts also offers residencies to artists, some lasting from two weeks, to Sixty Days, and we have 26 on site studios.
