AN annual art exhibition returns this month, featuring the work of some well-known local names.

Ulverston’s Society of Artists will host its 2018 Charter Exhibition at the Coronation Hall from Friday September 21 to Sunday 23.

Taking over the venue's Supper Room, the members of this long-running group will be displaying their latest works, with the majority of pieces also on sale.

The respected Society has been established for more than 50 years, and currently has around 50 members, ranging from beginners to professional artists.

This is the group's main event of the year, and features more than 100 pieces of work. For the first time, the Society has allowed artists to submit work without a selection day, given the high standards that members have been working to of late.

The exhibition will be free to attend from 10am to 9pm each day.
