🌟 Step Into the Past & Support the Future — An Art Exhibition Fundraiser at Guys Cliffe Centre!
An afternoon and evening of inspiration, artistry, and fundraising in a truly special setting. Nestled on the banks of the River Avon, the atmospheric ruins of Guys Cliffe Centre whisper tales of centuries past—once a medieval retreat dating back to around 600 AD when St. Dubricius founded an Oratory dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, later a grand manor, now an enchanting and rarely seen historical treasure.
Join us on Saturday, 14th June 2025 for the inaugural Art Exhibition Fundraiser, a celebration of art, creativity, and community—all in support of New Futures Nepal, a charity that transforms the lives of disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal.
