Higham Exhibition
Easter Arts & Crafts Festival 2008
 

Higham's annual Arts & Crafts Exhibition is now in its 39th year!!

It was one of the first events of its kind to be established, and has since gained an enviable reputation, for being one of the finest in the area.

  • Sales stalls by local artists and craftspeople
  • Lunches & refreshments daily
  • Working craft demonstrations
  • Birds of prey display
  • Book sale
  • Organ music in church daily.

We are only able to maintain the church in our village because of the enormous contribution, which the Exhibition makes to our income. Last year it provided 24% of the income necessary to meet the day-to-day running costs. We are most grateful to those who work so hard every year to make the Exhibition a success.

We should also be most grateful for any donations of homemade cakes & produce for sale in the tearoom & on our village stall.

This year, in addition to over 70 exhibitors in the school, we are supporting other charities by providing them with a stall in the village hall where they will be able to sell their new goods.

These will be open from 12.00pm to 5.00pm

There will also be demonstrations of working crafts every day in the village hall. On Sunday we shall be having the birds of prey once again. Every day there will be organ music in church, where you can choose a piece of music or a hymn to be played.

We look forward to seeing you all & take this opportunity to thank you in anticipation of your support.
