Performance NotesThis was the official opening of the exhibition, which included loans from Princess Christian (the Guild's Patron) and other members of the royal family. This was the first time that the Artists' Guild had held their annual exhibition at the Hall.

The exhibition was open to all amateur artists although there was a section for 'Advanced Art' under the direction of Mrs E M Ward which was open to skilled artists. Prizes were awarded for embroidery, painting, wood carving, photography, work in leather and metal, and miscellaneous. In total there were over 400 exhibits occupying two large rooms, curated by Lieutenant-Colonel Bacon. Today these rooms, occupying the first floor of the southern side of the Hall, are used as a restaurant.
