🎨 Ah - the irony… ☔️
After months and months of desperately wanting rain, … did it really have to arrive today?! 😂☔️
Today was supposed to be the first day of Art on the Common, and after months of preparation, the rain has unfortunately stopped play today.
So many of us local artists and makers have been preparing for this event for months, and some of us probably started getting ready for it almost as soon as last year’s event finished!
BUT… the good news! ❤️
The forecast for Sunday and Monday is looking much better, so the event WILL be going ahead as normal on both days.
There are so many wonderfully talented local artists, with original paintings, photography, crafts, cards, plants, gifts and lots more. And of course, the fabulous Southborough & District Lions Club do such an amazing job organising the whole thing, including their legendary homemade cakes and refreshments, and of course raising money for this wonderful charity. ☕️🍰
I'll be there with my hot-off-the-press 2027 Tunbridge Wells calendars, new packs of local greetings cards and a selection of prints, and I'm really looking forward to finally getting set up and seeing you there.
So, if you were planning to come today, don't despair!
👉 Sunday & Monday, 10am–4pm
📍 Southborough Common
🅿️ Free parking
Come and support your local artists, have a browse, grab a coffee and cake, and enjoy what is always one of the loveliest local events of the year.
See you on the Common!
