Arts & Eats at The Fen
On Wednesday July 31st, between 2.30 & 4.30pm, Simon and Judith Raven invite you to an exploratory and discursive afternoon at their home (2 Fen Cottages – IP19 9NF) on the edge of Dunwich Forest.
Over the years Simon has added strange ‘assemblages’ to the garden which he characterises as “ideas in search of an artist”. Whether or not this is a fitting description is for the visitor to decide. Now there are well over 60 such ‘objets’.
And that’s not all! In amongst the home-grown pieces there is a collection of grown-up ART featuring local regional creatives as well as several by a local boy “who’s done exceptionally good”. But who is this mystery person?
For further details and tickets book here . Members £6 / non-members £8 / children free. No dogs please – we have our own terrier and the garden doesn’t have secure boundaries!

Sandlings Summer Sculpture Show
Open every day from June 20th to Sept 22nd
Waveney and Blyth Arts presents the Sandlings Summer Sculpture Show, an extended residency in the grounds of Potton Hall (IP17 3EF) between Westleton and Blythburgh. Entrance is FREE.
A wide range of sculptures, assemblages and installations are for sale including works in marble, bronze, steel, glass, clay and galvanised wire – all made by our creative members. And if you’d like to buy one or more of the works on display then we put you in touch with the artist concerned so that you can buy direct and collect by arrangement within days of purchase, rather than having to wait until the show ends. Our hope is that this will enable the exhibition to change over time as individual works are sold and replaced by new ones.
