All funds raised will help to support the work of over 300 creatives and their community outreach projects with Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and Alder Hey Children’s hospital.

At 7.30pm. there will be an auction with the unique opportunity to bid for a selection of beautiful art and craft led by auctioneer Adam Partridge.
Lots will include the beautiful set of silver spoons, illustrated here our header, by the celebrated silversmith Stanley Hill (1911-2007) and generously donated by his children Richard and Susan. Stan was a founder member of the Bluecoat Display Centre in 1959 and worked from a studio at the Bluecoat from the 1960s until his ninetieth year. He sold over a thousand pieces of jewellery and silverware, each one superbly made and designed, reflecting his exploration of simple geometrical forms.
