At Pin Mill there is a permanent gallery offering numerous exhibitions throughout the year. Exhibitions are also occasionally held at The Suffolk Food Hall and Harkstead Village Hall. In addition, artists who are members of Suffolk Open Studios, open their studios for several weekends in June each year.
