Art Cafe in the Barn Wednesday Feb 12th 10.30am-12.15pm

Feel inspired by my grandmother’s chocolate box of cards and photos from the First World War to the 1920s! Why not make a card for someone (or to keep!) to cheer them through the cold days of late winter? 

Save the Date: Out of Darkness, Light launch Mar 8th 2-5pm

We’ve received a wealth of submissions for our forthcoming showing, and all contributors and Barn supporters are welcome to join us for refreshments and a first look. We’re also looking for help with the pre-showing Barn Clean on Monday Mar 3rd, 5pm onwards and volunteers to join the Welcome rota. Please contact me or Helen for more info and offers of help.

Best wishes,

Nick

We’re marking Candlemas (Presentation of Christ in the Temple) at the Barn tomorrow afternoon from 4-5pm with Still at the Temple. As the Christmas celebration ends in this poignant moment, we reflect on all that has been and the real work of Christmas that continues. Andrew Clarke also sent this link to a visual presentation of the Candlemas story that you may find helpful
