Aimed at highlighting local talent, the exhibition will be open from 10 am- 4pm.

The management has been working with local artists to create an on-going series that offers a regular opportunity for a variety of art works to be displayed throughout the year at The Haining, substantiating its position as a premier venue for art. The exhibition will display the work of Sivi Davey – Sculpture and painters Carol Norris, Siobhan O'Hehir, Geof Hickey, Claire Blyth, Derek Jones, Deborah Campbell, Silvia Home as well as Clair Norris – ceramics.

Lawrence Robertson, Trustee of HCT said: “The Haining lends itself well to the promotion of contemporary art and is an attractive venue for any exhibition. Once again, HCT is realising an important objective to utilise the house for the benefit of all to promote art, heritage and culture.” The Haining is a Grade A Listed Palladian Mansion House and estate in Selkirk, Scottish Borders which was bequeathed in trust by its previous owner to be utilized for the benefit of the people of Selkirkshire and beyond to develop arts, heritage and culture. The Haining Charitable Trust, was formed in 2010, and with the assistance of the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust, commenced an ambitious programme to revitalize the estate, emphasizing benefits to the community.
