Lake Event all set to promote regional Arts and Crafts

Hollingworth Lake Visitor Centre is hosting a craft fair and art preview on Saturday 26 July, with both art enthusiasts and families welcome.

Starting at 11am guests are invited to browse amongst a vast array of handmade crafts including cards, candles, teddy bears and jewellery.  

For children both a potter’s wheel and face painting sessions will be available to keep them entertained throughout the afternoon.

Councillor Jacqui Beswick, Cabinet Member for Place and Regulation:

“Hollingworth Lake Visitor Centre is located in an outstanding area of natural beauty and events like the craft fair really showcase what Littleborough has to offer. This event is guaranteed to be great fun so make sure you don’t miss out.”

 From 1pm guests will be joined by esteemed local artist Victoria Campbell. Victoria specialises in canvas artwork and is passionate about incorporating colour, light and “splishy-splashy” elements into her paintings. Join her for drinks and nibbles throughout the afternoon.
