Arts & Crafts at The Gables Farm
Torworth, Retford, United Kingdom, June 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Tuesday, June 5 saw a fun-filled day at The Gables Farm in the village of Torworth near Retford. Daniel and Rebekah Torridon opened up their farm house and surrounding grounds to the public for a special Arts & Crafts day where local artists and photographers were invited to exhibit their work. There was something for everyone, with the added attraction of a car boot / yard sale, live music, street magic and attractions for the kids.
Included in the line-up were Bohochic selling homemade jams and chutneys, local artist Fiona Bramley exhibiting hand-painted pictures and gifts and Cowshed Creatives with a range of beautiful handcrafted goods for the home.
Home made cookies were provided by Kolbie Stoneham and were a massive hit with everyone! His granddad, Bryan exhibited a range of his abstract paintings while Meli Clubley of Moh-dish presented her hand made vintage-style gifts including earrings and hatpins.
Local photographer Ian Barber exhibited his surreal photographs which were appreciated by the crowds and was on hand to provide personal tuition to new photographers with the assistance of model Keya.
Around mid-day Bert and Jenny Wapplington arrived to display their stunning Harley Davidson motorcycles and there were plenty of activities for the children also, including two large bouncy castles and face painting by professional make-up artist Lydia Higson. Live music by talented, young singer Anna Beaumont and poetry by Brendan Stoneham added to the festival atmosphere of the event.
This was the first ever Arts & Crafts day at The Gables Farm and the event was only publicised using social media (Facebook and Twitter) and by handing out flyers around the villages of Torworth, Ranskill and Barnby Moor. Despite being arranged at short notice and having very little publicity everyone came together to make the day a wonderful event enjoyed by all.
Following the success of the day Daniel and Rebekah Torridon want to organise two Arts & Crafts days each year to coincide with local events taking place in the villages of Torworth and Ranskill. If you would like to be involved in the next event please join the Facebook group entitled "Arts & Crafts at The Gables Farm" or contact Daniel Torridon directly on 01777 817829.
