Court Barn Museum in Chipping Campden is showing a selection of works by Reginald Sharpley (1879 -1947), a highly skilled but neglected artist, who lived in the town in the 1920s and 30s.

Court Barn Museum is celebrating after being awarded Full Accreditation status by Arts Council England (ACE).

The Museum Accreditation Scheme is the UK quality standard for museums and galleries and is managed by ACE. It serves as an authoritative benchmark for assessing performance, rewarding achievement and driving improvement in museums.

British artist John Lendis has always painted his relationship with the landscape wherever he has lived and worked in the world. His return to the Cotswolds with his family, a landscape so familiar and loved by Shakespeare and the Pre-Raphaelites, has reunited him with the stories and visions of these historical writers and artists:

After a spectacular first show last year, The Cotswolds Art & Antiques Dealers' Association Fair returns to the elegant setting of Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire OX20 1PP from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st April 2013. Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, eldest daughter of the present Duke of Marlborough, is the new Patron of the Association.

Court Barn Museum has acquired a silver goblet, designed by Robert Welch, which commemorates the 900th anniversary of the founding of the White Tower at the Tower of London in 1978. The goblet, made in parcel silver gilt, was commissioned by HM Government (the then Department of the Environment) in a limited edition of 50.
