Championing Local Talent at Priory Wareham - See Michael Sole's Breath Taking Artwork at The Garden Room Restaurant

We believe every detail of your dining experience should be a feast for the senses — including the space around you. That’s why we were thrilled to partner with renowned local artist Michael Sole, whose stunning, energetic, and striking pieces grace the walls of our restaurant. A chance introduction, a coffee, and tour of the hotel later, we decided we had to work with Michael. His art and the story behind it, resonated.  Michael’s work, known for its emotive and textural interpretations of nature, perfectly complements the charm and elegance of our space and the feeling of dining in connection with the natural work outside (with a touch of something extra special). Each piece reflects his connection and inspirations from the Dorset and wider landscapes, adding a touch of local creativity to your visit. Whether it’s the vibrant play of colours or his unique technique that catch your eye, there is no denying his paintings spark conversation.

By showcasing Michael’s work, we are proud to support the thriving local arts community, while enriching the atmosphere of The Garden Room. Next time you join us for a dining experience, take a moment to enjoy his work—and perhaps discover your next favourite artist.

Visit us soon to experience this blend of culinary and artistic inspiration.
