A Blooming Success

Our first Spring Plant and Craft Fair held on Sunday 13th April 2025, was a great success. It was a lovely day, the sun shone, over 550 people visited us throughout the day. We had 30 stalls - plant stalls, craft stalls and other local organisations, 39 volunteer helpers and we raised the profile of LOHP along with donations totalling over £2,000 for LOHP, to help with our important conservation work. A huge thank you to everyone who was either involved as a volunteer or who came along to visit us on the day, without you, none of this would have been possible.

Rob Robinson, LOHP Chair said, 'What impressed me was the way so many of our volunteers were involved in some way or other - a real team effort with everyone contributing, which is what makes LOHP such a great organisation.'

Calling all Stallholders

We are holding our first LOHP Spring Plant and Craft Fair and are looking for stallholders. See below for more details.

The Art of Success

The Art of Success is a fantastic team of volunteers - In this instance I'm referring to the amazing 'Art in Nature' art exhibition that we held at Blo' Norton Village Hall, Norfolk over the bank holiday weekend (25th and 26th August).

With 31 artists exhibiting there was something for everyone. We had over 23 volunteers helping over the weekend and 12 cake bakers. That's not including all the work that had been done prior to the event including all the paperwork and distributing the numerous flyers.

Over the two days we welcomed over 300 visitors, sold lots of artwork, and the teas and cakes flew out of the door. Our aim was to try to raise funds for our charity, LOHP, to help with its valuable work of protecting our unique species and habitats across the fens, and to raise our profile. With the positive feedback from visitors and artists, I think we have achieved this. A huge thank you to everyone involved - see you at the next one.
