Three dates for your diary.

At last summer is on the way and it is time to get out and about!  Here are some dates for your diaries.

Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop Exhibition.

At work in the Workshop

The nationally renowned Print Workshop at Gainsborough’s House will be holding one of its very popular exhibitions at St. Peter’s Church, Sudbury from 9^th May to 16^th May.

Friends of Gainsborough’s House have been invited to a private view between 12 noon and 2 p.m. on the first Saturday.

Exhibitions from the print workshop are always a great opportunity to find the right picture for that empty space on the wall or to find a perfect present.  Some of the country’s leading  printmakers work at Gainsborough’s House, and the art on show is always varied and interesting.

The next talk from Little Waldingfield History Society

In addition to the Concert in Little Waldingfield Church on 9^th May at 7 p.m. previously advertised on this site,  Little Waldingfield History Society’s next talk will be held in the Parish Rooms on 20^th May, when Roger Clark, a farmer, past president of the Suffolk Horse Society and former Master of the Essex and Suffolk Hunt will present a talk entitled ‘My customers and other animals.’

I have received an interesting review of the Society’s most recent talk by Sarah Doig which was about Henry VIII as seen through the eyes of his wives and mistresses.  I have posted this on a page above for a limited period only.
