Here’s a bit of festive fun, organised by Katie at the Town Council… The Mistletoe Trail.
Why not have a wander around the town and find all the bunches of mistletoe put up in these scenic spots. If you would like to take a quick selfie or video and tag @ExploreBOA and use the #BOAMISTLETOETRAIL on social media that would be great.
Here’s a date to pop in your diary… 30th April – 8th May 2022.
SerenArts Gallery are very pleased to announce that we will be taking part in next years Cloth Road Arts Week. It’s a good few years since we last took part so we have joined forces with the other units at the Tithebarn Workshops to create a proper destination for art lovers.
We will bring you more information once we have plans in place!
Everyone at the Tithebarn Workshops is thrilled to welcome Opalmizak to the Corner Gallery. Why not come down and meet Karen at her opening day and see what’s new at the Workshops.
It doesn’t take a squirrel long to figure things out and this resourceful little chap has discovered where we keep the box of bird food at SerenArts. We heard a rustling and there was his little face peering out under the curtain! A bit of early Christmas shopping perhaps?!
SerenArts have been doing graphic design work with France Today and French Entrée magazines for some time now. We work closely with the advertising department creating their print and online content. One of the slightly less taxing jobs is the private sales advertisements, where people are usually selling a property in France. They are, however, the ones that can often get you dreaming…
The idea was that our son and his fiancé went away on their holidays for a week while we baby sit our furry grandchild!! We thought (rather naively) that we would have Bailey in the gallery with us during the day… what could go wrong?… he’s adorable! He’ll be a great selling gimmick, we thought!
Well, that plan lasted all of an hour before there had to be a rapid change of plan and Serena would paint at home with her ‘little helper’! Cute as he is, at 8 months old he was just a tad too boisterous for our little gallery space. Much happier at home…
Things will be back to normal next week as Bailey heads back home. We will certainly miss the wee man!
OK… I’m going to own up… I took the mickey out of Serena for offering free keyrings promoting the gallery to gain followers on her Instagram account. I said she was buying friends! Now I feel guilty and want to help, so thought I would promote her wonderful work on our blog as well!
So, if you wouldn’t mind following serenapughartist on instagram it will hopefully get me off the hook!
On my morning walk today I saw a mother swan and her six signets grazing on the grass behind the Tithebarn Workshops, so I quickly phoned Serena to go and have a look. The next thing I know I get a rather panicked phone call from her saying they were following her back into the garden of the Workshops! I think word might have got around in the bird world that Serena feeds them every morning!
We now have the family all fed and watered and fast asleep outside the gallery! So please try and keep the noise down if you’re coming the Tithebarn Workshops today!! We don’t want to wake the kids!
On my morning walk today I came across the Bradford on Avon Walking Festival getting their stall set up in Westbury Gardens…
What a lovely weekend to have a wander around Bradford and the surrounding area. I went to their website and discovered that all their organised walks appear to be fully booked… which is encouraging. You can still spend a lovely day walking around the area though, including the beautiful Tithe Barn and Barton Farm Country Park area. You can also pop in to the Workshops to have a look at what we have to offer down here.
