held in the Lingfield Community Centre runs from
Monday until Sunday. We are open from 10.00am –
4.00pm daily, except on Sunday we close at 2.00pm.
This year we are adding a competition element to
the exhibition, whereby we are asking everyone that
visits, vote for their favourite piece of artwork. Only
one vote per person though! The winnning artist
will then receive a prize of art materials. If you’ve
been before, you know that the standard of exhibits
is very high, ranging from paintings, drawings and
other media, along with pottery, ceramics and
sculptures. All of course are ‘for sale’, so please be
ready and bring your bank card! We also have an
excellent display of greeting cards to purchase.
30 Oct: Bandstands: Their History, Decline and
Revival, Paul Rabbitts. 2.15pm Limpsfield Church Hall
RH8 0DG Guests £10. Bandstands are a distinctive
feature of public parks and seaside promenades all
over Britain. Why did they appear in our earliest
park, when were they erected, and who made
them? This lecture tells how the bandstand evolved
from the buildings and ‘orchestras’ of the early
Pleasure Gardens of the eighteenth century, how
they appeared in nearly every public park and
seaside promenade of the time, how its design was
influenced by the great landscape designers, and
importantly how a very small number of Scottish
foundries cornered the market across the world.
We have lectures in November and January up to
June. Website: The Arts Society Limpsfield
