Print your own postcard to take home, using letterpress and stamps! This activity is suitable for all ages and free of charge.

We are now taking bookings for 2019, so if you have something special to showcase, we would love to hear from you.

For a heavily reduced hire fee plus commission on sales, we offer week-long slots during the peak visitor periods and welcome a diversity of work from individual artists or groups, both new and old. The Great Oak Hall is a light and airy space in which to display your pieces. Please contact me either at greatoakhall@fowa.org.uk, phone on 0200 067 3301, or check out Great Oak Hall Venue Hire for more information.
