A chance for the community to chat, browse, buy original art and enjoy live music – with cups of tea and slices of cake on hand – the artist lineup for this year’s event includes Ali Roberts, with whimsical watercolours, oils, collage and illustrations inspired by everyday life; Carol Gregory with playful enamel and silver jewellery with a splash of 70s colour; Esther Montero who creates textile portraits and embroidered faces made from re-purposed fabrics; John Hodges, whose stoneware pottery designs reflect time spent in Australia; Jackie Duckworth with prints inspired by birds, beasts, history and legend; and Susan Abbs with atmospheric CamLife paintings featuring Nightingale Park. 

Plus, there’ll be a tombola with art prizes, an array children’s activities, a community cafe and live music from talented mezzo-soprano Rachel Coombs.

The fair takes place from 11am to 4pm on 30 November at Nightingale Pavilion CB1 8SQ.
