A 14th century Ribble Valley hall is to hold its first exhibition since its £200,000 refurbishment.

Samlesbury Hall will house the North West Design Collective's 'Secrets' exhibition from May 28 to June 16, which will include displays of wood, ceramics, glass, jewellery, silverwork, textiles, paintings and print making.

The North West Design Collective is a well-established group of professional artists, craftspeople and designers based around Preston and was set up in 1996 by graduates from the University of Central Lancashire.

The group meets on a regular basis to review activities.

There is no formal tuition offered, although members gain experience of setting up exhibitions, promoting themselves and their work, giving talks and slide shows, providing educational and recreational workshops.

For details of the exhibition ring Samlesbury Hall on 01254 812010.
