We're looking forward to attending the village fayre in Warley on 29th, and to hosting the sewing bees on July 10th and 11th. The latter are part of of the Brentwood Arts Festival. Do have a look at the programme that's on the festival website as there are some 45 different events across music, drama and visual arts. For those of you reading this and looking for 'textiles', there will be textile pieces in the Art Trail that starts June 28th for two weeks, Windmill Patchwork & Quilting group will be opening their meeting on July 7th with an exhibition of work and the "The Brentwood Bombers" yarn-bombing group will be exhibiting at West Horndon railway station. Details of the Art Trail venues/artists and all the Festival events are on the website, including details of how to book tickets to ticketed events.
