AN art, design and natural world exhibition is coming to a 14th century church in Worcestershire.

St Denys in Severn Stoke will host the event from Friday, November 27, to Sunday, November 29.

Ten per cent of income from the exhibition will be donated to the church while organisers have promised a "wonderful event" with an array of "unique" Christmas gifts on sale.

Richard Turkington, who has co-ordinated the exhibition, said: “St Denys is facing the familiar problem of a declining congregation and local people were consulted about new uses for this lovely old church.

"Holding an art exhibition was one of the main suggestions - and ‘Art, Design and the Natural World’ offers five exhibitions in one.

"We’ve original mid-century art, fabulous wildlife photography, jewellery inspired by nature, ceramics from the 1950s and the work of local artists.

"There’s something for everybody - and 10 per cent of all receipts will go towards securing the church’s future.

"This is a venue with a difference and a chance to buy something special for Christmas."
