More than 200 visitors gathered to enjoy a celebration of art, music and community.

The Tadley and Baughurst Art Club’s exhibition took place last weekend, where attendees explored more than 150 paintings, as well as crafts and textiles on display.

There was also live music performed by students from Rachel Scarlett Singing Teaching, along with homemade cakes, scones, quiche and biscuits.

Jenny Kennish, chairman of the club, said: "All our members paint for their own satisfaction and enjoyment but are so pleased when so many people come along to our exhibition and clearly appreciate our work. It was lovely to see them all."

Visitors voted for their favourite entries across several categories, including a tribute to Monet and textile sculptures.

The small painting category ended in a tie between Jenny Kennish and Toni Peace, while Sue Phillips won the model category for her work Two woolly jumpers.

The most popular exhibit overall went to Andrea Lawson for her painting Dock at the bay.

Every year the club collects for a charity and this year it was St Michael's Hospice.

The club welcomes new members and anyone interested in seeing what it does, can visit or email tadleyandbaughurstartclub@gmail.com.
