Welcome to the 2025 Swaffham Art Exhibition

The Rotary Club of Swaffham Art Exhibition has been going and growing for over 29 years. Together with our sponsors, we have a great Exhibition planned for the 24th – 26th October 2025.

We aim to become the Art Exhibition of choice, and an inspiration, for all the artists in East Anglia

If you are an artist and would like to exhibit with us please visit the Exhibitors section of this website.

We are very lucky to have such talent on our doorstep, but we need you to come along to the Exhibition to enjoy yourself and help us raise the funds for our sponsored charities.

Tickets for the Preview Evening on Friday 24th October 2025 are available from the Swaffham Rotary website.

But it’s not just about Art…

We run the exhibition to support local artists and to raise funds for charities and local good causes. In 2024, we continued to grow after the Covid 19 outbreaks, we raised over £3500, and over the last 29 years, the exhibition has raised close to £175,000.
