Our 2025 exhibition was a great success. Held in the Petersfield Festival Hall during the run up to the August Bank Holiday it featured works by over 100 members who filled our displays with some fantastic art and crafts. You can see some examples of our members creativity on our Gallery Page. The event started with a preview / sales night attended by Cllr Christopher Paige (Petersfield Town Mayor), at which the award winners were announced (see below). The following day the event opened to the general public and during the event, some of our members ran demonstrations of their skills and talked about how they work.
