Hi, I'm Rik Saggers – a full-time artist for over 12 years and a passionate supporter of the creative community. After spending more than 20 years taking part in exhibitions, I felt it was time to give something back. That’s how Art on the Vines was born.

Art on the Vines isn’t just an exhibition – it’s an experience. We bring together the region’s most talented artists and showcase their work in the beautiful surroundings of Dedham Vale Vineyard. But more than that, we create welcoming, relaxed spaces where visitors can enjoy art, live music, entertainment, and interactive events – all while surrounded by nature and a glass of something local in hand.

The event is also the official opening to mark the relaunch of Dedham Vale Vineyard - a celebration of art, music, and wine. The vineyard will showcase their new brand and latest wine collection, something definitely not to be missed. The opening night on the Friday (4pm - 10pm) enjoy live music and local food trucks, guaranteed to be a great night for all the family. Tickets are required for this event but they are FREE and can be obtained via the Vineyard website here Art on the vines | DedhamValeVineyard 

Our events are designed for everyone – from seasoned art lovers to curious newcomers, families looking for a great day out, and anyone who wants to connect with creativity in a meaningful way. There are chances to meet the artists, learn new skills, and most importantly, enjoy a day filled with inspiration, conversation, and connection.

I’m proud to be building something that supports artists and brings people together – and I can’t wait to welcome you to one of our Art on the Vines events.
