A few weeks ago Upholland Art Society was contacted by Mr Ron Jones, the owner of Holland Hall Hotel and Restaurant. He had visited our website and was interested in displaying our work in the hotel, which has been undergoing re-furbishment. We were, as a society which meets every week, very pleased with this latest development.

For anyone interested in viewing our work, Holland Hall is situated off Lafford Lane, Upholland, in very pleasant rural surroundings.
