Sian Knight the Chair of Tea Leaf Arts has emailed to let us know that after much hard work they have finally signed the lease for the community space in the new Tea Factory development on Endwell Road. This means that there is a new community arts space in the area and to celebrate they are holding an open day on the 20th September from 2-6pm (Tea and Cake included!).

Artists, potential volunteers and local residents are all welcome.

To find out more about the history of the development (and its future) please visit their website.

Christmas Market meeting - 9 September

At our last public meeting in July we agreed that we would like to hold a Christmas Market in Ladywell this year. In order to make that happen we need to get cracking on planning it as soon as possible as, now the weather has signalled the arrival of autumn, we will be hurtling our way towards Christmas before we know it!

We'd like to hold an informal meeting to kick off the planning process and would really welcome as much support as possible, as there will be much to do in the interim. If you'd like to come and share your ideas or volunteer to assist with the organisation, we'd be very grateful for all the help we can get.

We will be meeting at: Mason's on Tuesday 9th September at 8pm

Please email us at ladywell.info@gmail.com, or post a comment below, to let us know if you are coming so we can reserve a big enough table.

We hope to see you there!
