The Project Workshops Summer Exhibition 2008 was blessed with superb weather, giving more than 1500 visitors the chance to spend a leisurely weekend meeting our resident artists, buying all those 'must-have' gifts in the exhibition marquee, or simply enjoying the sculpture and the sunshine in the beautiful courtyard garden.

It was a pleasure to welcome so many of our loyal visitors who return year after year - and our regular exhibitors too, who add their reputations for superb quality and original work to the Project Workshops Summer Exhibition each year. The ever popular Gala Evening, which gives guests the chance to preview the exhibition in the company of the artists accompanied by music, wine and canapés, was kindly hosted by long-term supporter and friend Sir George Young MP.

The focus of the evening was an auction of artwork generously donated by our exhibitors for the benefit of our partner charity, the Alzheimer's Society. Proceeds from the auction and a charitable element included in the weekend's ticket price meant that Project Workshops was able to present the Alzheimer's Society with a cheque for over £7000 - a fantastic result - many thanks to everyone involved for their support and generosity.
