The April Meeting at Cheltenham Racecourse

It’s no easy task following The Festival however The April Meeting makes a brilliant job of it – plus there’s far less crowds. The final chance to watch the professionals test themselves on the track before the summer break, it’s a thrilling two days of races – don’t miss The Ballymore Silver Trophy Chase on ‘Wonderful Wednesday’. Then there’s ‘Tremendous Thursday’ – another super competitive race day thanks to The British EBF Mares’ Novices’ Handicap Steeple Chase Finale. In between, there’s plenty of fun to be had – particularly for families, with a horse shoe bouncy castle, rosette making and Junior Jumpers.

Icons of British Abstraction at Paragon Gallery

A spectacular journey through modern British art, Icons of British Abstraction brings together a Who’s Who of abstract British painters and printmakers – think Sandra Blow RA, Sir Terry Frost RA, John Hoyland RA, Paul Huxley RA, Bruce McLean and Barbara Rae RA.  Showcasing a selection of original etchings, screenprints, monotypes and unique works on paper, the exhibition will explore the radiant and lyrical approach to imagery born from a group of artists for whom paint is the stuff of life itself, vital and mystical as well as visual. Pioneers and relentless experimenters, each artist represents an expansion of the possibilities of image-making.
