Upton Country Park & The Gallery Upstairs

Only a few days to go until the Upton House Food & Drink Festival starts! There'll be food, drinks, arts and crafts and live music in the park.
Set up starts on the front lawn from Wednesday for the opening on Friday.
Please note that the Upton Bypass slipway from the A350 will be closed from 9.30am on Friday 13 August until 7am on Monday 16th August.
​
The weather is looking good and with another reason to visit the park we trust that visitors enjoy all that the award winning park has to offer.
The country park will be fully open for you to enjoy. You can explore the beautiful gardens and woodland and visit the Tea Rooms, Splash Fountain and Spurrier's Play Park.

And of course you must visit The Gallery Upstairs, situated above the tea rooms and managed by
​Poole & East Dorset Art Society (PEDAS)

The Gallery Upstairs is currently showing paintings and drawings by members of 'Art on the Heath' based at Canford Heath, until 16th August.
Following that, from 19th - 23rd August: 'Diversity of Colour', an exhibition of abstract oil paintings in aid of 'Diverse Abilities'.
​
We particularly look forward to a special event for the Bank Holiday:
ART PRO LOCO at UPTON COUNTRY PARK -  
PAINT, SHOW, WIN!
An exciting opportunity to come and be inspired to paint or draw at Upton Country Park, during the August Bank Holiday Weekend, and have your artwork displayed in an evolving exhibition in The Gallery Upstairs - we invite all ages and abilities to come and create a piece of art in a day.
