The lineup for the Wokingham Annual Summer Exhibition has been announced. 

The exhibition will take place on July 22 and culminates on August 5, and this year the exhibition is celebrating its' 62nd birthday. 

The Wokingham Art Society are putting on the event, which showcases a wide variety of local artwork, and is free to enter for members of the public.

The exhibition will be at St Paul's Parish Rooms, Reading Road, Wokingham, and will be open daily from 10am - 5:30pm, and will stay open until 8pm on Thursdays.

As well as being appealing to adults, there is also a 'young artist' section of the exhibition, allowing for children to create their own artwork to either be displayed or taken home with them, meaning parents can browse the artwork in peace. 

The event fully begins with a preview show on July 21, and the lineup for that evening has now been revealed.

The list of VIP guests is as follows: 
-          Mr. Dominique Paradis, CEO Daler Rowney – Officially opening the Preview
