Art and cakes a great combination

We held our third 'Art in Nature' Exhibition at Hinderclay Village Hall over the bank holiday weekend, to raise funds for LOHP.

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.

2nd LOHP Spring Plant and Craft Fair a great success

LOHP's 2nd Spring Plant and Craft Fair was held on Sunday 12th April at a new venue Lophams Village Hall. The new venue provided a flat field for the outdoor stallholders and with the added benefit of inside space for more stallholders, refreshments and toilets.

There were over 14 plant sellers, 23 craft stalls, a couple of information stalls, LOHP's nature table and tombola. Along with refreshments hot and cold, including hot dogs, ice creams, beers and homemade cakes, there was something for everyone.

It stayed dry and the sun even came out. The LOHP donated plant stall was really popular along with the LOHP tombola which was quite a favourite, thanks to all the stallholders for donating prizes.

The indoor space allowed us to invite more craft stalls who could not be outside and was somewhere for us to provide our own refreshments.......

A huge thank you to all of the LOHP volunteers who helped out not only on the day but with all the preparations before and after the event, and all the stallholders who came along and made the day a great success. Not forgetting the over 500 visitors that joined us - thank you.

All donations raised from the event have gone towards the Prince Freddy's Meadows Appeal.

See you in 2027 for the next one.
