The Showcase is our premier event, and we are excited to have so many lovely art and crafters, supporters and Volunteers coming with us again, for a wonderfully creative journey.” We are dedicated to ensuring that all sectors of our community have opportunities to be creative and with the challenges families face going into this Winter we are offering free tickets if you are on Income support or disability benefits” we really hope this helps our hard-pressed communities to take a day out, relax and have a great time.
