We are delighted to announce that the Art and Craft Fair will take place again in October 2025 at Leighton Park School.

Thanks to all the exhibitors and members of the public, the majority of the funds raised at the 2024 event helped provide healthy meals for families struggling from food poverty or food insecurity within our local community. This year the main beneficiaries will be the Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity and a project supporting local food banks and food share groups.

One of the earliest figurative art can be found on a rock art panel on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. It is a 45,500-year-old painting of a warty pig made with red pigment. This October, find more interesting, unique, and quirky pieces like the Sulawesi pig, at the Charity Art and Craft Fair. Your support to this event will mean a lot not only to the local artists, but to the patients of the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals as well.
