A WINTER exhibition and sale in aid of Acorns Children's Hospice begins at Bleathwood Manor on November 27.

Silversmith Sophie Jauncey is in charge of the exhibition, which will include work by a number of local artists.

This will include oil paintings, furniture, antique French linen and fine antique kimonos.

Raffle

Some of the work will be among prizes in a raffle in aid of the hospice.

Other prizes include a voucher for a spa and dinner for two at Koo Japanese restaurant in Ludlow.

"I chose this charity because I believe the most important people at Christmas are children," Sophie explained.

"I wanted to help children and support a cause that is working locally to help members of our community."

Acorns needs a final £750,000 to furnish and equip its new hospice on the outskirts of Worcester.

The exhibition continues at Bleathwood, which is between Woofferton and Tenbury, until December 3.
