With less than 175 permanent residents in the small village of Lockton and approximately 250 in the Parish, the unusually high percentage of creative and artistic people living and working here first came together in February 2016 to form a group known as Lockton Artists.

Lockton has now become the home to a thriving creative community. There is already a history of artists in the village and many of the artists today continue to draw inspiration from the beautiful moorlands and surrounding dramatic scenery.

Currently among the nine members of the group you will discover painters, a fine art photographer, textile designer, ceramic artist, jesmonite designer and metalsmith.
