Under a Bushel

A wide range of arts and crafts will be on display at the Under a Bushel exhibition being held in Bridestowe Village Hall this September.

Under a Bushel is a revival of an event which was originally held in the old parish hall 20 years ago. Then, there were more than 200 entries — organisers are hoping this will be easily surpassed this time! Much of the work will be on sale although some exhibits are for display only.

The exhibition is open to locals of Bridestowe and Sourton parishes and those with a strong connection to Bridestowe. There will be photography, sculptures, watercolour, carving, abstract, needlework, quilting and everything in between. The primary school and the pre-school will both be involved by creating artwork collectively to be displayed specifically for the exhibition.

Drinks and canapés will be available at the opening evening at 7.30pm on Friday 1 September. On Saturday 2 September you can visit the exhibition between 10am and 5pm — bacon baps will be on offer during the morning — and on Sunday 4 September the exhibition will be open from 10am until 4pm. Tea and cake will be available all weekend. Admission costs £2 to include the programme — entrance is free for children.
