Love Your Neighbour Match, Maggie (90) & Lewis (32), met at our Cheese and Wine social club in 2019 and have been pals ever since 🧡 In September, they managed to enjoy the last of the sunshine and spent an afternoon chilling out down Boradway market with a cheeky Aperol Spritz!

It is time for the Studio to Unlock and open its doors again to showcase the vitality of the work that has continued in such difficult and unprecedented times 🎨 We look forward to sharing our work with you. Where: Units 1 and 2, Albion Dockside Estate, Hanove Place, BS1 6UT
