Art & Craft Exhibition

CV47 2AB
25th & 26th August 2013

Free entrance
Contact Pauline Carr on 01608 652346
An exhibition of Arts & Crafts will be held in the Church on the Sunday and Monday of the August Bank Holiday weekend. In addition to a wide variety of art & crafts all of which will be for sale, there will be kite making demonstrations, a model railway demonstration, a beekeeper with a hive of live bees, produce and home made cake stalls, pottery demonstrations and much more. Tea & Coffee will be served throughout the duration of the exhibition, the proceeds of which will go to the Fabric Fund for the much needed restoration of the Church roof. In addition, all the exhibitors contribute a percentage of takings to the Fabric Fund. The Church contains a number of beautiful and nationally important medieval wall paintings, which were restored a few years ago. Unfortunately, since that time, lead has been stolen from the Church roof, and also the remainder of the nave roof has deteriorated badly. We are urgently trying to raise the funds to replace this roof, to avoid weather damage to the paintings. The exhibition is being organised by the Burton Dassett Restoration Committee, and your support will be very much appreciated.
All Saints' Church can be found just off the Gaydon junction of the M40.
Take the road in the direction of Banbury, and turn left opposite the Army Camp. Follow the signs to the Burton Dassett hills. |

The museum is proud to feature items from artists across the globe and the quality of the exhibits cannot be underestimated.
This is a wonderful place to experience and interact with an extraordinary assortment of both modern and old fashioned, yet highly innovative, machines! The MAD Museum is the only permanent museum of its kind in England, there is nothing quite like it, make sure you drop by in 2012! |
