The Holly Rees exhibition opened at Studio 90 Rendham Friday evening and the carefully executed paintings clearly showed the young artist's interest in landscape.  Her show continues until Sunday 14 May, more info here.

Like we said everything is happening today 4 July, Wilby school summer fayre, Bedfield barn dance, the Rendham fete, the monthly farmers market at the Snape Maltings and Le Tour kicks off with a prologue time trial in Holland.  'Why's it called the Tour of France if it's in Holland?'  'Oh p*ss off!'

The 2015 Alde Valley Spring Festival will be opened Saturday at White House Farm Great Glemham by artist Maggi Hambling .  Ms Hambling is a Rendham resident and creator of the Scallop on Aldeburgh beach.   The festival runs Tuesdays to Sundays for a month with events including farm suppers and festival walks.

Artist Ania Hobson grew up in Rendham and the rural influence is apparent in much of her work.  Starting Thursday she has her second selling exhibition at the Aldeburgh Art Gallery ... conveniently next door to the Golden Galleon chip shop.
