Cherington Nativity needs a saviour

Leave a reply

A plea from Sarah Scotter for a willing successor to take on the organisation of the much cherished Cherington Nativity

From Sarah:

The Time Has Come …..

The time has come the Walrus said

To speak of many things,

Of Mary and Joseph and Christmas Eve

And Angels with beautiful wings.

I am speaking, if you haven’t already guessed, about the Cherington Nativity – beloved by so many.

And the Walrus – that’s me – needs a successor to step up and take it on.

I know our villages have many capable and willing parents, because I’ve met you during my years of rounding up our Nativity cast.  I also appreciate how busy family life is BUT village events benefit from new ideas/energy and this is one of them.  I have costumes and scripts – all that is needed.

Here’s hoping this notice works.  

Please contact me.

Best wishes

Whitsun Art Exhibition at Jacques Barn: Save the Dates

Spencer House Gallery present a ‘Pride of Place’ showing of artists celebrating all aspects of Cotswold Life: 22 – 25 and 28 – 31 May

Spencer House Gallery champions excellent regional art and has recently transferred from Tetbury, in the South Cotswolds. Owner, Chris, has just moved from Oxfordshire to Upper Tysoe.

The Pride of Place show will be her North Cotswold debut. 

“I’m really looking forward to putting down new roots and getting to know the art-loving communities of my home patch. And, of course, I’m so grateful to Sally for allowing me to exhibit in her lovely Jacques Barn space.”

The dozen artists featured in the show are all Cotswold-based or inspired – or both – and most of them live in the Stourton region.

Their work, both figurative and abstract, will cover oil and acrylic painting, various kinds of printmaking, drawing and ceramics. Something for all tastes and pockets.

The Private View – on the Friday evening, 22 May – is a launch event open to all:
“We’re hoping lots of local residents come along to meet the artists, view the art and help us have an evening to remember.”
