Events 2018
Every year the Lauren's Cows team tour the Country with our fun loving cows, attending at a wide range of events from art exhibitions to agricultural show. It's a fantastic way to meet our fellow cow lovers and perfect for those who like to pick their cows in person. Check our events calendar to find your nearest venue. We'd love to meet you!
York Open Studios is a fantastic event and one that I am honoured to be a part of! Every year a variety of York's top artists, from ceramicists and carpenters, painters and print makers are hand selected to participate in this fantastic event. For two weekends in April we will all open the doors to our work space, whether it be a studio or garden shed and welcome the public in to view and talk about our work.
Lauren's Cows will be exhibiting alongside fellow artist and good pal Charis Raine aka Studio Factotum.
I really hope you can make it to see where all the magic happens!
Kirstie's Handmade Fair is great for those of us who not only like to admire crafty things but like to have a crack at making them themselves. It's full of kits and gadgets for crafters, and if you're a fabric hoarder like Jude then there are endless haberdashery stands full of every fabric you can imagine, plus buttons, fringing and pom poms galore. You can even join in a workshop and take something handmade home with you that day!

The Royal Highland Show is one of the busiest events in the Lauren's Cows calendar.
With a huge following this agricultural show is a brilliant day out. I don't know if it's all the hairy Heeland Coo's, or maybe the beer tent, this show is always buzzing with excitement.
Don't be put off if you think an agricultural show isn't your thing, the shopping here is fantastic! Whether you're looking for horse riding gear, gardening equipment, a new duvet or a pork pie you will find it here. Plus there's a whole host of entertainment takes place everyday to keep the kids happy (and chainsaws for the men!)
Country File Live is a fab day trip especially if you watch the programme on BBC One.We have exhibited at this show every year of it's existence and love it!
Last year was especially exciting as not only were we showing our own gallery of Cows but I was actually presenting BBC Country File's Adam Henson a portrait of his Highland Bull Archie. Non of that this year, however we will be there with cows in abundance and you can meet the real Archie in the flesh. If you're lucky he might sign your print!
More events may be added so don't forget to check back. If you have any suggestions of a show that you think the cows would enjoy, or any questions about our upcoming events then please get in touch.
