2025 was our 9th Big Art Fair, one of the major events of our year, we were excited to return to Hitchin Town Hall.
This year we were astonished with the quality and creativity of the work exhibited by our artists. We experienced a record numbers of visitors, totalling around 2,500 and had bumper sales of over £15,500. There was a real buzz in the room!
“It’s great to have confirmation of how successful the weekend was 😊 I really enjoyed the whole weekend and it was so lovely to meet all of the artists involved, I am very grateful to be a part of the HVA 😊”
… and this is what our visitors said
“Beautiful exhibition with talented artists”
“Fantastic art! Lots of different styles and mediums”
“Wonderful range of lovely art”.
Congratulations to Cathy Smale who is the 2025 winner of the Visitors’ Choice Award.
Each year we invite visitors to vote for their favourite artist who is then award with a prize at the end of the weekend. This year we welcome an array of Sponsors to our event – click on the logos below to visit the sponsors’ website..
