This page publicises events organised by or being participated in by our members.
Keep your eyes on the Cuppa Cabins Facebook Page in 2024, as some of our Members are taking over the art shed! This includes Hilary Bird, Melanie Betteridge and Caroline Winyard.
​
Occasionally we also take it over for the Art Group and will publicise this when we need you to offer any artwork, prints and cards to sell.
​
Enjoy a cuppa, cake and while away an hour or so in the calm, quirky and relaxed sheds whilst supporting local artists and businesses.

The National Brain Appeal Needs Your Help
The National Brain Appeal are thrilled to announce the return of A Letter in Mind for its eleventh year!
​
This year, their vibrant community of contributing artists has chosen the theme ‘The Wonder of Colour’. Starting with a simple envelope, they are inviting entries from artists, patients, and supporters to showcase how they’ll bring the wonder of colour to life in their envelope artworks.
​
Their lineup of well-known 'A Letter in Mind' contributors includes luminaries such as Sir Grayson Perry, Axel Scheffler, Christopher Nolan CBE, Joe Lycett, Leigh Francis (Keith Lemon), Tracey Emin, Mark Gatiss, Morag and Ishbel Myerscough, Chantal Joffe, Indira Varma, Chris Riddell, and Dame Zandra Rhodes.
​
​
Each artwork is priced at £85, and all pieces will be exhibited and sold through our online gallery, with the option to view them in person at Gallery Different later this year. All proceeds from sales will go towards supporting vital projects at Queen Square. Last year, our 10th-anniversary celebration saw the total raised exceed £300,000—an incredible achievement.
​
