We aim to involve local residents in creative activities and to promote Cliffe House and it’s grounds as a core, educational venue in the community.

Cliffe House is a property owned by Kirkless Council providing a range of activities designed to support the National Curriculum and providing a high quality and unique learning environment designed to inspire young people to learn.

It also provides excellent conference and meeting facilities available to hire for groups, colleges, businesses, individuals and the community.

The founder of ArtattheHouse has had a long connection with Cliffe House through his work with schools, and he developed a vision for using the outdoor buildings and grounds for an art event that would connect local artists and the community.  This event aims to make the most of the grounds in a way that would delight and engage visitors, encourage creative activities and support and promote local artists.
