MEMBERS of the Avoncroft Arts Society want people to know their annual Arts and Crafts Fair is going ahead next Saturday, November 15, despite all the roadworks going on around Bromsgrove.
There are various lane and road closures taking place along the A38 as part of Worcestershire County Council’s BREP scheme but the Avoncroft Arts Centre on Redditch Road, where the event is being held, will be open.
The organisers say Worcestershire Highways has assured them stallholders and visitors will have access to the centre.
The vibrant showcase of unique work by local artists and crafters takes place from 10am to 4pm.
Visitors will be able to browse these creations and buy one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, artworks and crafts.
There will be a wide range of arts and crafts, including pottery, handmade cards, stained glass, jewellery, and much more.
There will also be home-made cakes and freshly brewed tea and coffee.
Avoncroft Arts Society offers weekly arts classes,such as painting, drawing, mixed media and more.
The group said regular weekend workshops also offered the opportunity for creativity, bringing the inner artists out in everyone.
The event, which is taking place after months of planning, was under threat of cancellation when BREP works meant the closure of Redditch Road.
Chair of Avoncroft Arts Society, Gary Crooks, said: “We would like to thank Worcestershire County Council Highways which has been working with us to ensure there will be access to Avoncroft Arts Society that weekend.”
