Christmas Activities at Hornton’s Studio B This Weekend

Getting into the Christmas arty-crafty spirit at Studio B

Two festive events are coming up at Studio B in Hornton, both designed to get art lovers and craft makers in the festive spirit…

Creatures and Crafts is the title of Studio B’s first art show and sale on the weekend of 23 and 24 November, 11am to 4pm daily. Entry is free and you get to see the work of five local artists, ranging from ceramics and screen printing to drawings, paintings, textile art and handmade Christmas decorations. There will also be bags, scarves, accessories and toys and a range of greetings cards. (See poster below).

Four of the five participants have been tutors at Studio B’s first year of practical workshops this year. The final workshop of 2019 takes place on Tuesday 3 December – Make Your Own Wall Hanging Twig Christmas Tree! Jane Moffatt of Burdrop leads the session. This second ‘twiggy tree’ event has been set up as the first one sold out back in the early summer! It runs 11am to 3.30pm and includes a light veggie lunch, all for £28pp. Three places available in a group of six. See details below.

VE Day 8th May 2080

Advance Notice of Significant Event in 2020

8 May 2020 is the 75th anniversary of VE day, the day in 1945 when the second world war in Europe finally came to an end.  The armed forces charity, SSAFA, are planning activities to mark the occasion, and are encouraging members of the public and community groups to become involved.  They have written to Horley Parish Council asking for the Council’s assistance in publicising the event.

SSAFA are asking for church bells to be rung at 7.00pm on Friday the the 8th, and that church services of commemoration be held on Sunday the 10th.  In between they encourage communities to celebrate the anniversary through parties and other such community events.  If anyone is interested in becoming involved, or organising a community event, they are recommended to visit the SSAFA website set up for this anniversary at www.veday.org.

More information from the SSAFA can also be seen in 19-10-17-ve-day-letter
