A MALPAS arts group will be holding an exhibition in Whitchurch next month.

Malpas Fabric Arts Group will hold their exhibition in the Civic Centre, High Street, on Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7.

The items which will be on display include quilts, cushions, bags and decorative pieces and there will be two traders with quilting fabrics and notions for sale.

A spokesman for Malpas Fabric Arts Group said it will cost £3 for admission and there will be a raffle.

He added: "Visitors are welcome to browse the exhibits in the spacious and disabled-friendly Civic Centre.

"Admission will be £3 per person which includes entry to the raffle.

"The first prize is a quilt made by members.

"Seating and refreshments will be available, together with a tombola and sales table.

"Doors open on Friday from 10-6pm and on Saturday from 10-4pm."

The group has members from Cheshire, Shropshire and Wales.

The spokesman said: "Malpas Fabric Arts Group has around 25 members, from Cheshire, Shropshire and Wales.

"We like to share our knowledge to help beginners and offer advice to those who need it, whilst having fun being creative with fabric.

"We often inspire each other.

"We always bring what we have made and include a show and tell at our meetings, which is a great way to see interpretation and originality together with hearing about triumphs over difficulties.

"We meet on alternate Mondays, where we have a variety of activities, such as demonstrations, talks, and have-a-go skill shares.

"Sometimes our own members will give a talk or demonstration, and on other dates we have guest speakers from further afield."
