Green Hill Arts presents Widdershins 3, an extraordinary gathering of renowned mythical and fantasy artists whose works evoke the mystery of Dartmoor.

Dartmoor is a place rich in history, folklore, and legend. Home to a vibrant community of artists, Dartmoor has long been a source of creative energy, and this exhibition explores how its wild, rugged beauty and ancient history shape the imaginations of those who live here or have strong connections to this enchanting land.

The exhibition features work by renowned artists including Alan Lee, Terri Windling, and Brian and Wendy Froud. These celebrated figures have captivated audiences around the world and have introduced generations to books and films such as The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit.

This exhibition explores Dartmoor’s timeless role as a place of magic, where boundaries between the mundane and the mystical blur. From the sweeping moors and ancient stone circles to the hidden creatures and spirits said to roam its hills, Dartmoor provides a perfect backdrop for stories of the fantastical and the otherworldly. This year’s exhibition promises a diverse array of artistic responses including painting, photography, sculpture, costume, illustration and film.

Walking “Widdershins” (counter-clockwise) is the traditional way to enter the realm of myth and enchantment, and we invite you to do just that - come and experience the magic of Dartmoor through the eyes of its artists. Immerse yourself in the creative journey that celebrates both the wild beauty of the moor and the rich folklore that has been passed down through generations.
