The Hearth is situated in the heart of the quiet village of Horsley.
The former church manse dating from 1600 now houses an exciting cluster of artists' studios and a coffee shop.
Visitors can savour delicious homemade cakes and light lunches whilst appreciating the work of the resident artists displayed around the site.
Artists include Melanie Hopwood - ceramicist, David Holliday- watercolourist, Mike Jarvis - painter , Carol Robinson-textiles, Ruth Hicken-Textiles through Time and Rebecca Vincent and Carol Nunan - printmakers, Kim Lewis- illustrator and Mandy Pattullo - textile artist.
Regular art courses are held by individual artists.
Each Monday and Wednesday morning the hall is filled with music when Louise holds the Singing Babies group for mothers and babies and Squeaky Feet for those who have outgrown Singing Babies.
Monthly Seven O'Clock Soirees bring music in different forms to the Hearth complimented with delectable homemade suppers prepared by the coffee shop.
