Caerbladon

With a changing programme of exhibitions, workshops and events we encourage people of all ages to enjoy art, buy artworks and express themselves creatively. We supply high quality art materials and books at affordable prices to offer inspiration and useful advice on different techniques and approaches. We act as a hub for activities such as artist talks, social get togethers, and walking and sketching tours in the local area. Our gallery and art supplies shop is on Market Cross, at the top of the High Street, but we see the whole town and surrounding area as a canvas for Caerbladon exhibitions, events and projects. What’s in a name? Malmesbury was a pre-Roman "ancient city of the Britons" known as Caer Bladon. “Malmesbury is situated atop a steep-sided ridge between the Sherston and Tetbury branches of the Avon, at the point of their confluence just south of the town, their combined courses almost enclosing the site so as to create a peninsula. These natural defences made it the choice for an Iron Age hill-fort which tradition later framed as a thriving British town called Caer Bladon”
