What a lovely afternoon we had at the opening of our Autumn Art Exhibition at Gallery at The Hive. 🍂🎨

It was a little quieter than some of our previous launches, but that made for a really relaxed afternoon and everyone seemed to enjoy having time to look around the exhibition, chat and catch up.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and supported the gallery, and to all the artists who have work in the exhibition.

We’d also like to say a special thank you to Chris, Rev. Mark, Debbie, Kay, Kate, John and Keith for all their help in making the afternoon run so smoothly.

The Autumn Art Exhibition is now open and runs until Saturday 28th November, so if you couldn’t make it today, there’s still plenty of time to come along and have a look.

Open Thursday–Saturday, 10am–2pm.
