mayor’s charity silent ART AUCTION
Monday 2nd - Wednesday 11th March
This March, we are delighted to be hosting a silent art auction in support of the Mayor’s Charity of the Year, the Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity. This special fundraiser celebrates local creativity while raising vital funds to support children with cerebral palsy and other motor learning impairments.
A wonderful selection of artwork has been generously donated by talented local artists, showcasing a variety of styles and mediums. With something for everyone to enjoy - whether for your home or office, or as a Mother’s Day gift - the collection offers a unique opportunity to purchase original local art. The pieces will be on display at The Orchards Shopping Centre, forming a trail across participating shops, giving residents the chance to enjoy the displays while shopping.
The art auction will be taking place across ten days at the beginning of March. Bidding will take place online via a silent auction website. The link will go live at 9am on Monday 2nd, and will be shared here on our website.
For anyone who would prefer personal assistance with placing a bid, our team will be happy to help. Simply visit the Town Hall or call 01444 455694 for support.
Whether you’re an art lover or simply keen to support a wonderful local cause, every bid truly makes a difference. We encourage everyone to take a look, place a bid, and help support the Mayor’s Charity through this unique and creative fundraising event.
