The Abingdon Artists usually stage two exhibitions a year, and their summer exhibition runs from 23 Jun- 30 Jun (10:00 – 17:00) at St Helen’s Church.

St Helen’s Church is well known for being as wide as it is long. Since the redevelopment a few years ago that extra width in the Outer South Aisle can be used – flexibly – either for adding chairs for services or concerts, or for refreshments, exhibitions, charity sales, or lectures.

The art exhibition takes place in that south aisle, and is open all week.

This is also a good chance to look round the rest of the church building whether you are new to St Helen’s or not . The painted ceiling – from around 1390 – of the chapel off the North Aisle must be seen.
