CHALKE VALLEY HISTORY FESTIVAL 2020

Loyd Grossman 8.45pm Wednesday 24th June

It is a great delight to be sponsoring a talk by Dr Loyd Grossman CBE FSA at the 2020 Chalke Valley History Festival.

The lecture will focus on Dr Grossman’s new book, An Elephant in Rome: Bernini, The Pope and The Making of the Eternal City, which is due for release in June. It will explore how Pope Alexander VII turned Rome into the must-visit destination for Europe’s intellectual, political and cultural elite by appointing the most prominent artist of the time, Gianlorenzo Bernini, to help create the grandeur of Baroque Rome for the people to enjoy.

The Chalke Valley History Festival will take place on 22nd – 28th June 2020. For more details visit www.cvhf.org.uk

On Friday 29th May, 6 – 8pm, Woolley and Wallis will host a Charity Exhibition Evening, showing work by local artist Katherine Swinfen Eady, in aid of The Swinfen Charitable Trust.

Ten paintings by Katherine, an established Landscape painter working in the Scottish Colourist tradition, will be available for sale, with the commission going to the charity, and a large painting will be auctioned by Victor Fauvelle, at 7pm, with all the proceeds going to the charity.

Alongside this event guests will be able to preview the next Woolley and Wallis auction of Modern British & 20th Century Art including The Estate of Dame Elisabeth Frink & Lin Jammet to be sold on 3rd June.

CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR HORATIO’S GARDEN

“Horatio’s Garden is a national charity creating and nurturing beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres to support everyone affected by spinal injury. We grow thriving communities to support patients, their families and friends facing long stays in NHS hospitals.” - Horatio’s Garden As part of our ongoing charity partnership with Horatio’s Garden, we are pleased to be title sponsor for the Horatio’s Garden Spring Supper. At the time of writing, the event will take place on 12th March at the enchanting Pythouse Kitchen Garden. Woolley and Wallis Chairman, John Axford, and Managing Director, Natalie Milsted, will be attending the sold out event in support of the charity. We are also delighted to be supporting, Horatio’s Garden volunteer, Jack Folkestone as he embarks on the Marathon de Sables. Often billed as the “toughest foot race on Earth”, the ultramarathon is a staggering 156 miles and is held over a six day period in the Sahara Desert, with over a thousand runners taking part.

“Horatio’s Garden has long been a charity close to our hearts at Woolley and Wallis,” explained Chairman, John Axford. “We continue to sponsor the sculpture in the Salisbury garden, and some of the regular events that are organised throughout the year, including the Pythouse Kitchen Garden supper on 12th March. Everyone involved with Horatio’s Garden works incredibly hard to make it the success it has become over the last eight years, and for Jack to take on a challenge as famously tough as the Marathon de Sables shows just how inspiring the charity is. We wish him all the best.”
