Year after year the Pilgrims Way Artists Annual Summer Exhibition has been attracting more artists and visitors.

The 18th show, supported by Maidstone’s Lark Insurance, will showcase Peter Robson as its featured artist alongside 30 other Kent artists, potters and sculptors who will display around 350 works.

Peter is largely self-taught and since retirement has travelled the world to concentrate on his watercolours. He is a 2014 Elizabeth Howard Award winner and has exhibited in the Mall Galleries, in London.
