Every year the quality of the artwork gets better and better. With 33 artists exhibiting, there was a huge variety of work including watercolours, acrylics, collages, wood, stained glass, cards and ceramics - something for everyone.

And of course there were plenty of refreshments with lots of delicious homemade cakes. The weekend was a relaxed affair with people coming to look at the artwork, meet up with friends and enjoying a piece of cake or two - some people were there for hours, showing that art and cake make a great combination.

It would not have been possible without the help of all our amazing volunteers who made the event a great success, raising over £2,000 for LOHP. No job was too big or small, from planning and contacting artists before the event, setting up art boards, making refreshments and much, much more. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

On Sunday the 9th August we held a Practical Conservation Taster Session as part of the Brecks Outdoor Festival. The hot sunny weather did not put off the new volunteers wanting to get outdoors and get dirty while helping nature.

The new volunteers along with a few LOHP regulars soon got stuck in removing saplings coming up in the fen, an important job. If left the saplings would dry out the fen and eventually turn it into woodland, losing all the specialist fenland plants.
