2011 will be the 37th year of the popular and very successful Art and Crafts Show which is to be held once more in the Titchfield Community Centre, Mill Street, Titchfield, on April 9th and 10th.  The doors open at 10am on both days.

There is also a Preview Evening, with refreshments (entrance by ticket only) from 7.00pm – 9.30pm on Friday April 8th.   Apart from being a very sociable evening, this gives an opportunity to see and buy original artworks before the doors open to the general public the next day.  Tickets for the preview evening are available from Thursday 10th March at the Titchfield Community Centre office and there is plenty of free parking beside the Community Centre.
 
This year we are delighted that we have several new artists exhibiting their work, as well as a photographic competition, the extremely popular children’s competition and exhibition and of course the unique craft stalls.  Refreshments are available each day whilst the show is open.

New exhibitors are warmly welcome and application details are available on our 'Take Part' page.   Please make a note in your diaries and bring the whole family. 

Finally, if you wish to display our poster to help support the show, you can download it by click on the small version of it above. Thank you.

"It would be wonderful to see some Christmas photos of the village. As an ex-pat living in Australia I miss the beauty of home and Christmas is never the same in the sun and warmth. So photos of the village trees and lights at this time would give those of us away from home some festive cheer!"  Babs Magee in Australia.
