The Ship Inn Arts Centre is a non-profit organisation founded by Vanessa and Georgi in Spring 2022. Our mission is to share knowledge, love and passion for the creative arts with everyone.
History
The venue emerged amid the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic when Ashford Hill’s historic Ship Inn pub was reborn as the Ship Inn Arts Centre and Country Hotel.
