2013 SAW Secret Garden Craft Fair

Despite poor weather over 2400 people came into the church and grounds for the 2013 Sherwood Art Week Secret Garden Craft Fair to enjoy the crafts, sample the splendid food, and be entetained by top local Musicians.

This was the result of months of work by a small army of volunteers, and was complimented by the rest of the Art Week Activiuties - Yarn Bombing, Art in the Shops, Exhibitions, and Workshops.

Even the lead up to the was more exciting than usual as our MP Christpher Leslie came along to encourage groups in the preparation - not once but twice!

First he came to see the Scouts tidying up our Garden ready for the Fair and (above) helping Artists Anna Dixon with some Mosaic work which is destined for Woodborough Park	Then again to see people setting up on the Friday night before the Fair itself, invited by natash East, the artist who runs Sherwood Kids Art Group

On the day itself . . .

There were seven stalls inside the Sherwood Hall as we all artwork from Djanogli and the Kids Art Group	Sherwood Library ran the Children's Quarter with story telling and colouring Activities
Sherwood Sunrisers Rotary Club provided Strawberry Tea in the Main Hall...	...while outside Musicians created a wonderful atmosphere. This is Steel Magnolies, with Bronwyn in purple on the right who runs the 'Singing for Fun' Choir here at Sherwood URC
