Another Right Royal Event At Ascot

Fresh: Art Fair co-founder Anthony Wardle takes us on a tour of some of the galleries and artists you can expect to see at the Fair this September

Why on earth would anyone hold an art fair at a racecourse? Well, the answer in Ascot’s case is because it’s one of the most spectacular venues in the world, it’s super-easy to get to by car or train, has unlimited free parking and facilities fit for a Queen.

Fresh: Art Fair is Britain’s fastest-growing contemporary art fair. It will be the biggest non-racing event ever held at Ascot Racecourse. Needless to say, there’ll be no racing, just art… and coffee, wine, lunch, expert talks and artist demonstrations.

Fresh: will host 53 leading UK and European galleries showing the work of 600 artists. There will be 6,000 original prints and paintings, sculpture, glass and ceramics from as little as £100 to £30,000, much of it well within most people’s budgets. Among the artists will be exciting new talent, established professionals and Royal Academicians. Hockney, Hirst, Emin, Banksy and Blake will all be there.
