Affordable Art Sale May 3rd - 6th 2024
Friends of Morston Church held an 'Affordable Art Sale' in Morston village hall over the early May Bank Holiday Weekend of 2024.
​
All pieces on sale were kindly donated, gathered and collected from villagers, nearby Norfolk residents, friends and family. The artwork was all 'affordably' priced, each labelled with a little information about the piece, the artist and its history if available. As with all good Morston events, visitors to the sale were promised refreshments in the form of home-made cakes, along with tea and coffee, plus a raffle - with the offer of a work by Norfolk artist Max Angus as the tempting prize.
On Friday 3rd May, tickets were sold for an exclusive Private View from 6.00 pm - 8.00 pm, which was kindly sponsored by Bishop & Miller, Valuers & Auctioneers of Norfolk & Suffolk. Guests were the first to see (and buy) the works of art while enjoying drinks and high quality home-made canapés provided by villagers. To date, the estimated amount raised exceeded £6,500.00 (with more to come from those pieces sold at auction.)

A fish and chip supper was ordered for our hard-working volunteers and organisers, delivered to us by The Morston Anchor - with thanks!
